Our Accommodation

Set on a quiet residential street in Tunstall, Burnhays Lodge features comfortable bedrooms and inviting communal areas. Our young people have their own spaces to relax and feel secure, while shared zones such as the lounge, kitchen and garden give opportunities to socialise and build positive connections. The home’s location includes nearby amenities, green spaces and activities for young people to engage with.

Our Support Offer

Every young person is supported through a personalised plan, created together with them, their family and relevant professionals. Our team specialises in helping young people who may have experienced trauma or multiple placements. We focus on emotional wellbeing, building trusting relationships and developing life skills from everyday routines to planning for the future.

Who We Support

We support young people who benefit from a smaller home environment, where they can receive consistent, attentive care in age-appropriate settings. We’re experienced in working with young people with complex needs and behaviours, always delivering support through empathy, respect and understanding.

Life In The Community

At Burnhays Lodge, we encourage engagement with the local community, whether that’s visiting parks, attending local clubs or exploring nearby cultural venues. This gives our young people the chance to build connections, try new activities and gradually increase their independence in a supported way.
