Anima Residential Care, we challenge outdated views of secure accommodation by creating a safe, therapeutic environment where young people feel supported—not confined. Guided by a social pedagogic approach, our team places young people at the centre of practice, helping them build self-worth, resilience, and the skills needed to return to the community with confidence.
Our secure care home supports young people aged 12 to 18 placed on welfare, remand, or custodial grounds. While safety is a priority, we ensure the space feels like a home—calm, respectful, and nurturing—rather than an institution.
Through structured daily routines, tailored programmes, and trusted relationships, young people are encouraged to reflect on their behaviours, understand the consequences, and plan for positive futures.
We provide holistic care that integrates therapeutic support, education, and life skills development—drawing on our team’s expertise across the care sector. Every young person receives an individualised care plan designed to meet their specific needs and goals.
The home also operates a Community Intervention Project, which focuses on early support for young people at risk of harmful or offending behaviours. By engaging early and building strong, trusting relationships, we introduce positive alternatives and pathways away from the criminal justice system.
When young people leave our care, they do so with greater confidence, improved self-esteem, and a clearer understanding of the power they have to shape their own futures.
We offer a safe, inclusive space where every child is supported to grow, heal, and thrive. Our highly trained team is committed to providing personalised care that builds confidence, independence, and brighter futures.
