Shaping Children’s Futures
Innovative therapeutic residential care, helping children and young people recover from trauma and flourish as adults.
Who we are and what we do
Bright Places provides specialist residential care for children with a range of complex and high acuity needs.
Our vision is to develop resilient, responsible, and confident children who aspire to achieve their full potential and live fulfilling adult lives. We aim to rebuild the lives of children through our expertise.
Our Vision
Our vision is to offer children and young people a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where they can begin to heal from the impact of their early life experiences. We recognise that every child has unique needs, and at Bright Places, we tailor our approach to help them build resilience, self-esteem, and confidence, enabling them to reach their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.
We support children and young people who have experienced significant trauma and abuse. Our trauma-informed, therapeutic services are designed to provide stability, strengthen emotional resilience, and help each young person move forward successfully onto the Second Steps of their lives.
Our Home
Our Quality
We provide high-quality, effective care through an experienced and well-qualified residential team, supported by our contracted clinical psychologist and psychotherapists.
Together, they work with children and young people to help them make sense of their experiences and achieve positive, lasting outcomes.
Our home is well-organised and well-maintained, providing children and young people with a warm, family-like environment where they can live together with a sense of safety, security, and care. We focus on supporting each child to rebuild their lives and prepare for the next stage of their development—whether that involves returning to their local community, moving on to other services, or, where appropriate, reuniting with their family.
Our Success
Children and young people will have access to an individually tailored package of therapeutic support designed to meet their specific needs. Our staff work closely with the clinical team to ensure the effective delivery of therapeutic approaches and practices. This collaborative, whole-team model enables us to deliver the best possible outcomes for every child and young person in our care.
We strive to empower children and young people to shape their futures and transform their lives. We promote positive relationships, offer enriching experiences and activities, and help them develop the skills and strategies needed to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
