Update 27/08/2026
Futures House experienced a fire on Wednesday 12 August 2026. Since then, we have been working closely with our insurers, loss adjusters and professional consultants to complete the necessary emergency works and assessments to enable the building to reopen safely.
The initial cleaning has been completed and most of the main building services have now been reinstated. Our Building Surveyor and other specialist contractors are continuing to assess and address the remaining works and requirements.
Subject to the necessary professional and safety confirmations, we are currently aiming to begin reopening the majority of the centre towards the end of next week or during the following week, on a phased basis.
We expect that some services may remain temporarily unavailable or operate with restrictions for a period, while the remaining reinstatement works are completed. We will continue to work as quickly as possible to restore all services fully.
We recognise the disruption and uncertainty this has caused to our staff, tenants, service users and the wider community, and we greatly appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding and cooperation while we work through the recovery process.
We will provide further updates as the reopening programme becomes clearer.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation during this difficult time.
