Redefining residential care services by championing hidden heroes.

Our Vision

We aim to redefine what the highest quality residential childcare service looks like for both young people and staff.

We want to be seen as the best rather than the biggest, as we feel that this is where our true passion lies.

We’re shaking up the status-quo by being our authentic selves and by building real relationships, so everyone knows the genuine, professional team agenda is one of trust and honesty.

Our Ethos

Our efforts and energy will ensure young people feel welcomed and choose to make safe decisions that positively impact their future.

We care, we listen, we are constantly learning from each other to refine our craft.

It is our perseverance and unique approach that ensures we provide the appropriate response and the safest level of intervention for our young people.

We value team work over individual success.

Positivity reaps energy & motivation

We like to do things a little differently, so don't expect the ordinary. We encourage our young people to learn from us – just as we will learn from them.
