Our Mission Statement

To make County Durham’s children’s homes nice places to live, where young people feel safe and well cared for; where they are listened to and helped to prepare for the best possible start to adult life.

Young Person with Staff

Our Core Belief

Our core belief is that in order for the young people we care for to achieve their full potential, they must live in an environment that respects their diversity, offers them positive life experiences and enables them to develop positive relationships with adults.

We also believe that in order for them to regain control of their lives, young people must be involved in any aspect of decision making that has a direct impact upon their lives.
