Our not-for-profit services support people who have behavioural challenges, learning difficulties, physical disabilities, complex health needs and autism.

Our care, special education, community support and family support services are based in North West England and we accept referrals from all over the UK. We offer a range of short break services, community support and residential homes for children and adults offering emergency, crisis and medium to long-term placements. Our fostering service provides family placements in the North West and surrounding areas.

We provide some of the leading specialist education services in the North West region, operating a range of special schools, a further education college and centres supporting those who cannot attend mainstream schools. In addition we offer a wide range of training, consultancy and support services for young people and their families including sleep support, therapy services and family group conferencing.

In addition to local authority funded places, our services can be purchased by families, carers, and service users over the age of 18 or their brokers via a direct payment, individual budget, individual service fund or personal/private funds.
