We take mental and health and well-being very seriously, we recognise that we are we are supporting vulnerable people from all different walks of life, and we want to work alongside them to get them both physically and mentally prepared for independent living. In additional efforts to support them we provide counselling services; we also understand that some people are not comfortable expressing their feelings, so we also explore other avenues for them to channel their energy such as psychotherapy, like dance/movement therapy, football and exercise like hourly gym sessions.
Our homes are well maintained, fully furnished and staffed 24 hours a day. We want our young people to feel at home and have provided them with everything they need to feel settled and comfortable.

We not only want our young people to feel comfortable, but we also want them to get a sense of a family environment
