About Us

Zain Abidean has over a decade of experience in education, spanning all levels of secondary schools, including senior leadership. During his time in a Pupil Referral Unit, Zain witnessed first-hand the disproportionate challenges faced by children in care in the UK: poor educational outcomes, homelessness, unemployment, mental health issues, and involvement with the criminal justice system.

Recognising the need for a comprehensive support system, Zain envisioned an approach that actively collaborates with various stakeholders to provide young people with the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. His mission is to ensure that children are not held back by their past traumas and struggles, empowering them to reach their full potential and successfully transition into independent adulthood. 

Experienced Team: Led by a dedicated and experienced management team, our service is delivered by a consistent group of skilled support workers specifically recruited for their expertise in working with vulnerable children. These individuals possess exceptional intuition and the ability to provide the extra support these young people require.

Individualised Support: We maintain a 24/7 staff presence, ensuring each young person receives the personalised attention needed to build essential life skills and foster confidence.

Collaborative Approach: We work alongside relevant agencies and, when appropriate, family members, to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated care plan for each young person. We actively involve them in their care journey and decision-making processes, respecting their age and understanding. 

Evidence-Based Approach: Our program utilises a well-researched and effective authoritative, high-support parenting model. This approach has been proven successful in fostering trust, self-esteem, and overall well-being in young people who have experienced trauma, loss, or rejection.
 

Structured and Supportive Environment: We provide a comfortable and well-maintained home where young people receive 24/7 care and support. We actively encourage them to participate in age-appropriate activities such as education, employment, outings, and hobbies (e.g., sports, music). This fosters a sense of normalcy and allows them to explore and develop their interests.
 

Crisis Management: We are equipped to address any crisis situations that may arise. Our team implements immediate intervention strategies, followed by reflection and open communication to ensure a safe and supportive environment.
 

Empowering Potential: Our ultimate goal is to empower young people to reclaim their place in life and develop essential coping mechanisms to reach their full potential. Every aspect of our care model is designed to support this objective.
