The Grace Wing at Overtoun is there to reach out to those within our communities with specific needs and provide answers to their circumstances that give hope for their futures and healing for their wounds.Specifically we will be providing care for young women in crisis with a residential facility. We will also provide for the short term care of abused women within our community in support of the current social work programmes. These facilities will house both the women and their children. It is our hope to work alongside local churches and social work to provide continuing support for these women within our communities.

The Grace wing is named in memory of baby Catherine Grace Garrett – 21st June 2001 4:14am-12:32pm
