Who We Are

The Forge, is a brand-new, purpose designed Therapeutic Community for children who have experienced early disruption to their development

At the Forge children and care givers are provided with a sustainable, positive environmental influence, which is at the heart of all our decisions.


Our environment has been shaped with the complex needs of trauma recovery at the centre. Our Therapeutic Community is the healing environment, this has a powerful impact on the day to day  lives and experiences of all members. 


The Therapeutic Community also benefits from Creative-Expressive Therapies and Life Story that promote  trauma healing experiences, to living within artfully designed homes, surrounded by gardens and spaces  to enjoy sports, leisure, and the opportunity to prepare for greater interdependence in the future.  


Our Therapeutic Community is dedicated to assisting healing from early, traumatic life experiences, disrupted  attachment, and to reducing the impact of adversity, so that children can make sense of their pasts.



What we do...

We steward children’s development of trust in themselves and in others, as well as belief in and skills  for their future. Our Model of Care is based on neuro developmental, trauma-resolution principles and positive attachment practices and is framed by the Sanctuary Model®. 


The children we care for have experienced disrupted development within their early lived experience. They have had to survive inadequate and harmful environments and/or unsupported neurodiversity  (ASD, ADD, ADHD, ODD, PDA), through various unconscious strategies, including dissociating and  disconnecting from themselves and others, distrusting others and rejecting their own and others’ vulnerability.

Community healing...

 Forge Care sustains a reflective culture where members are encouraged to be compassionate about ‘mistakes’, curious about themselves & each other and are helped to be so; all staff members are participant observers in the therapeutic work. The essence of a Therapeutic Community is ‘being with’ rather than ‘doing for’. All community members are encouraged and supported to contribute to the community, our site includes allotments, animals and creative indoor and outdoor spaces that facilitate this. 

Environment & Design

Our Homes...

 At Forge care we believe that effective transformative recovery can only be truly experienced when children feel safe and secure. Our homes are purpose-designed and built facilities for our care homes with the utmost focus on quality spaces, materials and design principles.
