Founded in 1881, we have over 140 years of experience operating care, education, community, and social work services. As a leading voice in the care sector, we look to improve health, life chances, quality of life, and levels of achievement while reducing poverty and increasing safety for all.  

Services we operate include:  

· Care homes for vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people.   
· A secure home for children and young people with complex needs.   
· A school for young people with a range of complex social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.
· Care homes for adults living with dementia or acquired brain injuries.   
· An adoption service.   
· A multitude of community-based support services.   
· Outreach initiatives aimed at tackling all forms of poverty.

We are deeply grateful for the support we receive from our community. Volunteerism, donations, in-kind support, corporate sponsorship, grants and legacies not only help to maintain our vital services, but ensure that we can do more for those who we serve. 

Your donation, no matter how small, will make a significant contribution both to the continued running of our charity whilst helping us alleviate poverty across the region.
