High quality, specialist provision for residential care.
The residential properties are operated and maintained under the guiding principle that on a fundamental level, they are to be homes for the children and young people that live there. As such, every new admission into our care is given the opportunity to decorate their own rooms and are encouraged to do so. They are likewise involved in everyday activities, such as helping to devise their own weekly meal plans. All properties are decorated to be as homely and well-furnished as any other living space. This is all achieved to mitigate as much as possible any feelings of a looked after child’s residency being transitory or alienated from an ordinary home life. Each home is intended to be much more than just a place that they can stay.

Booth House
Booth House was the very first residential property we opened. Though it has been used for short term placements on multiple occasions, we have seen great success in utilising the home for long term stays, with most young people remaining there for several years until they transition on to independent living.
This provision was initially established for specialised support of children with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) and those presenting with disorganised attachment, emotional dysregulation, developmental trauma and/or post-traumatic stress. In particular, Booth House is well suited to meet the needs of children who have been subjected to Child Sexual Exploitation.
Since this time, we have expanded our repertoire to accommodate the distinct needs of LGBTQ+ young people. We provide access to an in-house psychosexual specialist and maintain links with local support groups and youth clubs to ensure that they are connected to their community peers. Training and relevant information is likewise provided to staff to standardise awareness and inclusivity.
Located rurally in East Lancashire’s Rossendale valley, the home has room to accommodate 4 young people at a time and benefits from nearby transport links, beautiful countryside and several nearby schools with whom we have well established working relationships.
Stonebrook House
Stonebrook House is also located in East Lancashire, enjoying many of the same community access privileges as Booth House. This spacious and newly renovated home has been a much-celebrated investment, with an additional on-site training room for staff skill development and 3 beds for use in short term assessment and stabilisation placements.
Stonebrook’s specialist provision is intended for the care of younger children and accepts placements between the ages of 5 and 13. This home specialises in early intervention placements to prevent breakdown of long-term foster placements and adoption, typically for periods of 6 months to 2 years. The aim of this service is to avoid placement or family breakdown by providing specialist trauma informed intervention and to rehabilitate children back to their long-term placement or family.
Pennine View
Pennine View is located close to the centre of Burnley in East Lancashire. Due to it’s location, Booth House is well served by public transport and access to amenities. This spacious and newly renovated home has been a much-celebrated investment, with an additional on-site training room for staff skill development.
Pennine View’s specialist provision is intended for the care of up to 3 children between the ages of 5 and 17. We cater for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD), presenting with disorganised attachment, emotional dysregulation, developmental trauma, and/or post-traumatic stress.
We offer specialist recovery from CSE, Chronic and Acute Trauma. Pennine View also offers empathic and supportive care for LGBTQ+ children
and young people.
Future plans
Even during the continuous undertaking of establishing the new home we are presently working on, we are still actively considering various options for what to do next. Keep an eye on this section of the website in the months to come for additional details on this project as they become available.
“Our goal is to provide the children and young people in our care with an exemplary quality of therapeutic residential care.”
