We walk alongside children and young people in, around and leaving care when we're needed most
Through fostering, residential homes, wellbeing support, mentoring and
our leaving care service, we help children and young people build their confidence, create strong relationships and experience new opportunities.
Simply put, we care differently. More than support, we offer lifelong care, love and ambition so that young people can grow beyond what they thought was possible.
Supporting those in and leaving care
Through our therapeutic services, Staying Close, Staying Connected project for those moving on from care, a mentoring program, and giving opportunities in employment and wellbeing, Break's wraparound support means that every young person we work with has the opportunity to flourish and achieve amazing things.
