About the service

Linksfield is a long-term residential home for up to 6 young people.

The Service provides care and support to young people up to the age of 21 who have often experienced a range of challenges and adversity.

At Linksfield, we strive to develop positive and loving relationships with our young people.

By providing a consistent, strong, nurturing environment where young people can experience a sense of safety and emotional containment, we aim to enable our young people to begin to make sense of their childhood experiences and wherever possible, strengthen their family relationships.

Within this safe context, Linksfield creates opportunities for young people to develop their life skills and social interests.

We advocate on behalf of young people to access appropriate education, and support further education, training options and employment opportunities.
