About Us

About Virgina House

Our ethos is based on the belief that all children should become the best that they can possibly be, by giving them the same opportunities in life regardless of their experiences, disability, age or sexuality. 

We aim to offer children a home where they are able to grow, develop and mature into responsible, respectful and caring individuals. In Virginia House, children and young people have a home where they are supported to achieve their full potential. We take a holistic approach to the care of our young people; their individual needs are identified and tangible goals and SMART targets are set to address issues, teach new skills, and address behavioural problems.
We aim to create and preserve trusting relationships with the children to create a secure base where they can begin to address their challenging behaviour in order to eventually assume some control over, and take responsibility for, making positive choices in their lives. We hope this will help them to identify and modify their behaviour, which will enable them to reintegrate back into their own family, substitute family or to live independently and thrive in the community. All of our staff believe in the principle of frank, open, non-judgemental genuine discussions, and emphasising the personal worth of the child with positive individual responsibility.
Some of our residents may be particularly vulnerable, suffering from learning difficulties. We aim to establish a safe and secure environment where a child can develop their individual identity and understanding whilst having their needs met in an honest, positive and above all consistent and professional manner.

We aim to provide an atmosphere of ordinary family life within a small residential children’s home, where children are supported and provided with the required information to develop and understand structure and routine on a par with a regular family setting.
