Supporting children in care in the West Midlands
Our children’s residential services and foster carers in the West Midlands provide safe, happy homes for children and young people. Running two service types in one region means we can offer a continuum of care – if a young person is ready to move to an alternative placement, we can keep them within St Christopher’s and maintain the relationships they have already developed.
