Homes for children and young people
We’re proud to offer 12 warm and nurturing homes where we care for children and young people with a wide range of backgrounds or complex needs.
Everyone deserves a place to call home.
Every child and young person deserves to live safe from harm and to look forward to a happier future. That’s why we support, nurture and protect young people when they need it most.
Across our 12 homes across the North West, we support children with learning differences and complex needs, as well as young people who are at risk or who may have experienced trauma.
We help them grow their independence and shape their own story. Together, we remove the stigma of trauma, complex needs and abuse, and help young people to feel safe again.
Personalised care
Every child that lives in our homes is different. We personalise bedrooms, support children to help design the weekly menus and make tasty meals, and work with them to plan activities.
Our staff provide nurturing, reliable environments where children can build their independence, form supportive relationships, and develop their confidence.
“They make it feel like home, and that’s my favourite part about it. It doesn’t feel like a care home. It feels like your home.”

Having fun and relaxing
We encourage children to take part in the hobbies they love – covering anything from Cadets to horse riding. If a child has a special interest, we’ll do our best to make that happen! And for when our young people need to relax, we have much-loved communal areas with TVs, books and games to unwind or socialise.
Our young people have the opportunity to go on holiday each year, whether that’s a short break or a whole week away. We work with them to come up with ideas for their holidays.
We hold different parties and events year round within the Together Trust which our young people can take part in, including our annual Achievements Awards and Christmas Carol Concert.
Psychological support
Children are at the heart of everything we do. And to make sure they get the right support, we need to have a deep understanding of every individual.
Our team of specialist psychologists help us to build a meaningful picture of each young person’s needs.
Working across our services
Our team work alongside different specialists from across the Together Trust to understand co-occurring needs, offer therapeutic support and put the right plans in place.
This deep understanding helps us offer meaningful and impactful support. Both in our homes, and across our wider services. It’s what makes sure every child feels safe and understood, and gives them the tools to work towards a happy future.
Training our staff
As well as offering consultancy and embedded support, our team of psychologists also offer ongoing staff training in safeguarding, CSE, trauma and attachment. This means our staff have the skills and knowledge to support and protect every child. Even in the most difficult of circumstances.
Our expert team
The psychology team includes specialists in trauma and attachment, educational psychology, learning disabilities and autism.

Helping families
We know that every family is different. That’s why our support services are shaped around not just the individual, but the whole family.
Therapy and support
Our therapy packages are individualised to meet the needs and interests of the child or young person.
Fostering
We’ve worked hard to build a connected fostering family where staff, carers and families can support each other.
In fact, our level of training, support and friendly community mean some of our foster carers have been with us for 20 years.
