The house is bright and spacious and all bedrooms are private, en-suite, with TV point and quality furnishings. There is ample space throughout the home for privacy, access visits as well as indoor and outdoor activities.

We offer a range of programmes and activities individually designed by key workers to help young people build confidence in their achievements and abilities as well as fostering ambitions for the challenges they will face throughout their lives.

The team works in partnership with young people’s families and social workers. They will actively and consistently engage with families within their own home or in a mutually agreed venue. This empowering approach aims to promote familial links and maintain pivotal social relationships in a young person's life.
