Channels & Choices was established in 2005 by a group of qualified social workers who were, and remain, passionate about making a difference to the lives of children in care. Our vision is simple: every child deserves a safe, loving home, a great education, and a future they can believe in.

We are an award-winning therapeutic community where children and young people experience stability, healing, and opportunity, supported by adults who live our values and by systems that are caring, ethical, and sustainable.

What truly sets Channels & Choices apart is our ability to deliver specialist therapeutic services through a fully integrated model of care. Our therapeutic residential, fostering, and education provisions are supported by an in-house multidisciplinary therapy team, ensuring children and young people receive coordinated, trauma-informed support that adapts to their needs and provides continuity, stability, and measurable positive outcomes throughout their journey.

We believe that expert therapeutic support should be at the heart of everything we do, rather than a separate service. It is embedded in daily life, shaping the relationships, environments, and experiences that help children feel safe, understood, and valued.

As children grow and their needs change, our integrated model enables smooth transitions between services, supported by professionals who know them, understand their journey, and are committed to their future. By keeping care, education, fostering, and therapy under one roof, we create the continuity, belonging, and support every child needs to thrive.

Through our award-winning therapeutic community, we help children find safety, discover their potential, and build a future they can truly believe in.
