Braddan Bridge House


In July 2008 the Joey Dunlop Foundation Trustee's began talks with the Isle of Man Government over the posibility of purchasing Braddan Bridge House. The property, 'being Braddan Bridge House' was bought by the Government prior to road highway alterations. Once the new mini-roundabouts were completed the property was available for the JDF to purchase. The benefits that this site offers is; large size, ample car parking, location, close to Nobles Hospital and other amenities, internal modification only, possibility for expansion in the future.

The JDF realised that the previous project, (which was the Victoria Road site) was going to be unachievable due to the immense construction costs involved. Other ideas were explored but all to no avail. All efforts were then focused on the Braddan Bridge scheme. The site on Victoria Road was sold with the funds from the sale added to the charities banked capital. This was then used to pay for the Braddan Bridge property. More funding will be needed to cover the alterations required to convert the building into seperate self-contained apartments. We are looking for donations to help pay for builders, materials, Lift, Viewing balcony, equipment and all the associated fitting and fixings.

The main aim of the JDF has always been to creat visitor accommodation that will open up the Isle of Man to visitors with disability. All apartments will include wet room facilities with level access. When completed it will be available all year round for all visitors needing specialist facilities. To ensure this building is fitted out to compliment Joey's stature your continued support is greatly appreciated and the fund raising campaign continues.
