We’re part of the charity Together Trust, a leading disability charity that works across the North West.
The whole family can rest and recharge with our short breaks service.
Our home gives children and young people a wonderful opportunity to make friends, have fun and experience new things. We’ve put a lot of love into designing our home to create warm, friendly and nurturing spaces for the young people we support. It really is a home from home.
Woodlands has been specially designed with our young people in mind. We’ve got five bedrooms, adapted living spaces and a beautiful sensory garden. It’s a calm, safe and stimulating space where we can support your child’s needs while helping them develop to their full potential.
