To achieve effectively provide bespoke support for young people and ensure they meet their outcomes, we work closely with local authorities, parents, social services and other multi agencies, this also helps them to develop tailored packages of support to meet the needs of individual young people.

They also have 2 ‘step-down’ supported living services that are not regulated but will come under the management of the Operations Manager.

Their homes are in Nuneaton, Leamington, Coventry, and Walsall.

The local authorities and social services are encouraging them to open children’s homes because of the excellent level of care their 16+ young people receive, so their aim as a company is to be able to provide care for young people from the age of 12 and look after them all the way through to adulthood and beyond, to do this they aim to also open children’s homes and CQC registered homes.
