About us

We are a staff team of 12 professionals with backgrounds in probation, social work, police and volunteering. We are supported by around 200 community volunteers and are governed by a Board of Trustees.

Safeguarding is our priority. We are fully committed to practice that protects our service users from abuse. We take very seriously our responsibility to promote the welfare of children, young people and adults with care and support needs; their safety is paramount.
