Services for children and young people
St Christopher’s works with children and young people in care, on the edge of care or leaving care. All our homes and services are designed with young people at their very heart – that way we can ensure they are fit for purpose, offer the right support and achieve the best outcomes.
As the problems facing our young people change, we look at how we can adapt to their needs. We develop new services that are “sector firsts” and refine best practice for children’s social care.
