What we do

Caring homes

We’re proud to offer warm and nurturing homes for children and young people. We help them grow their independence and shape their own story. All while regaining a sense of belonging.

Education 

Every child deserves a chance to learn and space to thrive. That’s why we break down barriers to education for all young people, helping them learn and grow at their own pace. Because the right education can change lives.

Community services

We offer a range of flexible services for adults with disabilities or complex health needs. We put our services at the heart of local communities, making sure everyone has a chance to thrive. Whether that’s helping people to live independently, or creating spaces to learn, work and play.

Helping families 

We’ve helped a lot of families over the years, and we know that every family is different. That’s why our support services are shaped around not just the individual but the whole family. We work with you to understand and achieve your aspirations for a happy and fulfilled future. Because transforming family life helps children thrive.

Therapy and specialist support

Our friendly and experienced team slot right in with existing school teams and support staff. And we tailor our wide range of therapeutic support and training to suit students’ needs. 

Campaigning for change

The people we support tell us that they face daily discrimination, hardship and barriers. And the impact of harsh austerity measures roll on. Things must change. Every day, we listen and learn from the people we support so we can work together for change.
