Our homes are the cornerstone of our work. We move beyond basic residential care to provide a therapeutic living environment where every interaction, routine, and space is intentionally designed to promote healing, development, and safety. We maintain small, family-style homes with high staff ratios to ensure each young person receives the individual attention and relational security they need to thrive. We provide care for:
Therapeutic Homes
Warm, safe residential homes that provide structure, consistency, and nurturing care where young people can feel secure and settled.
Emotional Wellbeing Support
Trauma-informed support woven into everyday life to help children understand their feelings, build coping skills, and feel emotionally supported.
Positive Behaviour Support
A positive, relationship-based approach that helps children develop skills, confidence, and self-control through encouragement and clear boundaries.
Education Support
Close support with education, including liaison with schools, tutoring where needed, and help to build positive routines around learning.
Working With Families
Strong partnerships with families to promote consistency, shared understanding, and the best outcomes for each child.
We recognise that each young person arrives with a unique history and set of needs. Our care is never one-size-fits-all.
Supporting young people who may have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, or difficulties with attachment, helping them feel safe, understood, and supported.
Our Approach: Using trauma-informed practice and the PACE model, we create a caring environment based on Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy. Our approach helps young people build trust, feel safe, manage emotions, and develop confidence at their own pace.
Key Features: Practical strategies for emotional regulation, one-to-one support, access to specialist input when needed, and guidance to help young people rebuild self-esteem and a positive sense of identity.
For young people exhibiting behaviours of distress such as aggression, self-harm, property destruction, or severe oppositionality.
Our Approach: Grounded in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), a proactive, evidence-based framework.
The PBS Process:
1. Functional Assessment: Understanding why the behaviour occurs (its function).
2. Proactive Strategies: Changing environments and teaching new skills to prevent escalation.
3. Reactive Strategies: Using the least restrictive, de-escalation techniques only when necessary for safety.
4. Data-Driven Review: Continuous analysis to refine and improve support.
For older adolescents preparing for supported living, fostering, or adulthood.
Our Approach: A gradual, skills-based transition programme co-created with the young person.
Key Features: Increasing independent living responsibilities, tenancy training, community networking, and focused work on emotional readiness for change. We maintain a supportive connection post-transition to ensure continuity.
