Children's houses

A safe, caring home life for children and young people.

Our houses provide homely and therapeutic environments which allow children and young people to thrive and grow. By putting the child at the heart of our care, we aim to provide them with a new sense of purpose, belonging and hope.

We recognise the importance of having an adaptive and holistic service that meets the need of each unique and individual child and young person we support. Our ‘core and cluster’ community based houses and education campus helps us achieve this.

Children and young people are supported to attend mainstream education, college and employment. They are also encouraged and supported to develop interests through local friendships and many enjoy the benefits of being included as part of the local community.

Education and vocational training programme can also be accessed from our Education campus.
