About Parkside

Parkside is one of Associated Wellbeing's Ofsted-registered children's homes, alongside Alston Lodge, Rossbrook House, Eaves Hall and Greenhill. Our homes provide warm, stable and nurturing environments for children and young people aged 8–17 who require specialist residential care and support.

A place to feel safe and belong

Our homes provide a sense of belonging, routine and stability. Young people are supported by our dedicated multidisciplinary team who encourage positive relationships, personal growth, new skills and meaningful experiences.

Who we support

We support young people aged 8–17 who may require residential care due to:

  • Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
  • Trauma and adverse childhood experiences
  • Placement instability or placement breakdowns
  • At risk of, or involved in, the youth justice system
  • Difficulties engaging with education
  • Emotional and behavioural challenges
  • Complex family circumstances
  • Challenges with emotional regulation and relationships

Specialist youth justice support

We have experience supporting children and young people who have past or current involvement with the youth justice system, or who may be vulnerable to becoming involved without timely intervention and support. Through consistent relationships, structured environments and collaborative working with professionals, we aim to help young people build safer, more positive futures.

What we offer

Every young person receives holistic support, tailored to their individual needs. Working alongside families, local authorities, education providers and health professionals, we deliver a personalised care package that promotes emotional wellbeing, educational engagement, life skills development and successful transitions into the future.
