We care for children and young adults with progressive, life shortening conditions from across the North East.
Our team of skilled staff provide residential short breaks to local families. Up to six children and young adults can stay at any one time in our relaxed, home-from-home environment.
Children from birth to 18 can benefit from short breaks here. Teenagers benefit from their own living area – complete with games consoles, wide screen TV and PC’s.
We also care for young adults aged 18- 25 in designated, age-appropriate facilities.
Our five Auton residential children's homes can be found in Newcastle, Sunderland and Darlington. Each home offers professional care and a stable environment for young people aged between seven and 17 who are unable to live with their own families.
