We also provide our children and young people with love and care in inclusive and warm homes in support of them reaching their individual goals and achieving independence.
At The Prospering Place, our objective is to provide high quality semi-independent living services that enable children and young people to reach their individual potential.
To achieve this, we will provide:
We will provide 24 hour staffing by members of our highly trained team at all times, in our 24 hour provisions and at our step down provisions we meet with young people weekly and the hours depend on their care plan.
We aim to promote the independence of young people at all times and encourage them toward independence by offering a high level of emotional support and practical help in health and educational/employment issues, cooking, budgeting and living skills.
We encourage collaborative work with other organisations such as local Police, drug and alcohol services, domestic violence services, gang workers, health care workers, youth justice workers, and counsellors
Our children’s home is called “Blossom Abode” and we care and support children of all genders aged between 7 and 18 years with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD).
The children and young people we care for and support will all have varying needs and which may include:
We believe that regardless of a child’s experience, the Home will be able to provide them with a welcome sanctuary to support them in working through these challenges and creating new and positive experiences, whilst achieving their personal goals and celebrating their uniqueness.

" Abena did some great workshops for us in Swaziland, one of the ones that had the greatest impact on me was the one she did on abuse. It helped me to open up about the trauma I had been experiencing from being neglected as a child as I never used to see neglect as a form of abuse. Her teaching sessions helped me to look at ways of coping and moving forwards. "
(16 years old young person who met Abena in 2015 while she was on missions in Swaziland, Africa.)
' I can report that the floating support worker from The Prospering Place has sprinkled some magic dust into my young person. She's really been overwhelmed by the support that they have been given.'
The Prospering Place is one of the best providers I have worked with. There key workers are fantastic . They work closely with the young people to get the best out of them.
‘You are definitely one of the most reasonably priced, value for money, and helpful providers.’
‘I really like it here it feels like home. Everyone has been amazing. I would rate it 10/10 ’
"Abena really helped me with my transition into independence. She taught me skills such as cooking, cleaning, and budgeting and she helped me to produce an excellent personal statement and CV which helped me get into my chosen university and have a job whilst studying."
