OUR FOCUS
See the person.
Understand their needs.
Our focus is specialised, trauma-informed residential care for children and young people experiencing emotional and behavioural challenges.
We recognise that young people may have experienced trauma, or have needs associated with ADHD or autism. Each young person has their own story, strengths and support needs.
Individualised care starts with understanding that whole picture. We aim to nurture resilience and provide support that looks beyond today, towards each young person’s future.
Every placement is considered individually through our referral process.
WHAT OUR APPROACH LOOKS LIKE
Thoughtful care.
In the everyday moments.
Led by nature
Gardening, outdoor play and wildlife exploration offer opportunities to be active, connect with the surroundings and support emotional regulation.
Supported at home
Little Ash Farm has been carefully adapted to provide a warm, supportive environment for young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
ROOM TO EXPLORE. SPACE TO SETTLE.
Nature on the doorstep.
Comfort to come home to.
Our semi-rural setting brings the outdoors into everyday life. There’s space for movement, discovery and quieter moments, alongside comfortable shared spaces indoors.
It’s an environment designed to support wellbeing and personal development, with care centred on the individual.
