We provide care, therapy, accommodation and education for up to eight children aged between 10 and 17. The Meadows is a warm, therapeutic environment; offering the child real hope for the future.

At The Meadows positive outcomes for children have always been a priority and we have had demonstrable success in helping children to achieve under all five of the Every Child Matters categories. Some of our former residents are now at university.

The Meadows was established to meet the needs of children who have been identified as needing a period of residential care. During their stay we assess and address their needs through education, planned activities, individual direct work and group work. Our routines ensure safety and satisfaction.

The Meadows offers a safe, structured, stable and warm environment, which affords the child positive experiences; new, achievable challenges; success and positive reinforcement.
