New Heights 44
Empowering Children Through Specialized Residential Care
We’re rethinking secure care with a family-style home that offers all support in house—DoLS, risk protection, education, therapy, and life skills. A safe, nurturing place where young people can heal, grow, and build brighter futures.
What Makes Our Care Homes Different?
1. A Smaller, Family-Style Environment
We keep our homes small and personal, creating a warm, family-style atmosphere that feels nothing like an institution. This helps young people feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for—allowing trust to grow naturally.
2. Meaningful Charity Partnerships
Through partnerships with local charities, young people have opportunities to give back to their community, build confidence, and develop a strong sense of purpose and self-worth. These experiences help them reconnect with who they are and what they can achieve.
3. Practical, In-House Life Skills Programmes
Every young person benefits from tailored life-skills training delivered fully in house. From cooking and cleaning to financial skills like budgeting for older young people, our programmes equip them with the tools they need for real independence.
4. A Voice That Shapes the Future
Young people are invited to join our Youth Voice Panel—giving them a platform to express their needs, share their ideas, and influence how our services develop. Their lived experience directly shapes the support we provide, ensuring our homes remain responsive, empowering, and centred around their voices.
