Both of our homes provide a homely, cosy environment for our children, and are set within expansive grounds which provides lots of opportunities for our children to experience the great outdoors and play. Children and young people from diverse backgrounds come to our home and additionally attend our partnered school, High Peak School, for varying reasons, but often as a result of social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH).
