His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, has been a very generous supporter of the Police Treatment Centres for several years now. He has previously put some funding in to the construction of our new fitness facilities at Castlebrae and then funded the first of our two Alter G treadmills at Castlebrae. His most recent donation to the centre has allowed us to restore one of our social areas and create the Al Maktoum Library, a room for quiet reading, learning and relaxation.
The library was opened on 24th February by His Excellency Mirza Al Sayegh, Chairman of the Al Maktoum Foundation and right hand man to His Highness Sheikh Hamdan. HE Mirza Al Sayegh first cut a ribbon to mark the opening of the library before unveiling a plaque to acknowledge The Sheikh’s generosity. The charity’s CEO, Patrick Cairns also presented Mirza with a special PTC Shield on behalf of the charity.
Mirza was accompanied by several other guests including Dr. Abubaker, Director of Operations at the Al Maktoum College in Dundee, Lord Elder Chancellor of the College, and Mr Robert Gibbons.
We are very grateful to The Sheikh for his generosity and support and hope that officers at the centre will find the room a comfortable and peaceful place to rest, read and even learn.
