I would like to create a home away from home environment where each boy feels valued, safe and supported by a caring community of staff and boys who are right there alongside him, helping him to succeed”

In Flower’s House, our boys are encouraged to have strong aspirations, to ‘dream big’ and to have the courage and determination to set out to be the best.
