We offer our young people life affirming opportunities to participate in activities, celebrations, life events ,education, family contact and their own care planning. The average length of stay is currently 8 years and therefore continuity and a sense of belonging are important for our children.

At the absolute core of our ethos is our commitment to support our amazing children and young people with their unique needs. We seek to fulfil their potential, promote their rights and encourage their dreams. Put simply, we want our young people to lead the very best lives they can.
