Who we are
No young person should feel alone in the world. At Break, we make sure they don’t.
We walk alongside children and young people in, around
and leaving care when we’re needed most. Through
fostering, residential homes, family 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
life long care, love and ambition so that young people can
grow beyond what they thought was possible.
