Caldecott Foundation
Ashford, UK
Our whole ethos is about doing what’s best to help every young person in our care achieve their full potential and a happier future, no matter how difficult their life was before they came to us. For more than a century, Caldecott has been caring from some of the UK’s most vulnerable children. Our young people have been through some harrowing experiences and need time and a safe environment to help them come to terms with their traumatic childhood. We focus on giving them an individualised programme of recovery. This includes providing a caring and supportive family-style home as well as a range of therapies and emotional support. We want to give our young people the sort of opportunities that others have and this includes fun, healthy and active experiences. Currently we are raising funds for a camping trip in the summer, as well as to buy bicycles and other outdoor play equipment. ‘I’m really glad I came to Caldecott because it helped me get through a dark period of my life. The experience of the summer camp has been one of the times I will never forget as it was the first holiday I ever had and every minute was new and fun. ’ Caldecott young person, age 17
