Shaping the future to create a better day everyday
Welcome to Next Stage 4 Life – providing children’s home placements and therapeutic care to children and young people across the North West. We operate our own homes, providing support for those children that need it most. We forge strong links between the children and their local community, giving them every opportunity to thrive whilst in our care.
Next Stage 4 Life
We provide safe homes for children and young people in the North West in need of placement. More information about our work, the services we provide, and our homes can be found on the following pages.
Here you can find all about Next Stage 4 Life – who we are, what we do, and the vision we share to support all children and young people in our care. This page includes our Mission, our Values, and our Approach to residential therapeutic care.
We provide residential placements for children and young people aged 7 to 18 in our range of children’s homes across the North West. These include both planned placements and emergency placements, depending on each child’s needs. Details of our processes can be found here.
We currently have eight fully-staffed and functional children’s homes operating in the region. Each home provides a safe environment for the children and young people that we care for, and offers them a place where they can thrive. Details of our individual homes can be found here.
