our services
As one of the UK’s leading independent communities of children’s service providers, we’re focused on creating a truly committed, transformational service, with passion, integrity and a true sense of belonging for all whom we work with.
For children and young people, we achieve this by finding them caring and stable home and families where they feel safe, nurtured and able to flourish positively into adulthood, and by providing tailored support for all ages through childhood into independence. For foster and adoptive parents, by offering a supportive and non-judgmental environment where they feel empowered to develop their skills as professionals. And for our colleagues, by recognising their individual strengths, respecting their ideas and encouraging them to be the best they can be and make our service even better.
While each of our providers offers outstanding support and training, each also has its own unique approach, meaning we’re able to appeal to a wide range of needs and expectations – but always with the same goal: to make a lifelong difference to children and young people.
