The NSPCC centre was opened yesterday by the Lieutenant-Governor, General Sir John McColl, and will offer classes to raise awareness about preventing head injuries in babies, an advocacy service for children and ante-natal classes.
Sir John opened the Gower Centre with the man after whom the building was named – Philip Gower, who has been a benefactor of the NSPCC for more than 26 years and has donated the Stopford Road building, formerly the Elim Church, to the charity.
Jersey businessman Mr Gower is the chairman of Rockmount Capital, which owns Antler Homes in Jersey and the UK.
