Welcome to Illuminate Care – Just for You
Hi there!
We know that moving to a new place, starting a new school, or even just meeting new people can feel like a big step. This page is here to give you a clear idea of what Illuminate Care is all about – and what you can expect when you join us.
We’ve created a space where young people feel safe, supported, and listened to – whether you're living with us, learning with us, or both.
🏠 Residential Services
If you’re staying in one of our homes, we want you to know: it’s your space. You’ll have your own bedroom, privacy, and a team of adults who are here to support you. We’ll help with everything from schoolwork to cooking to making sure you feel settled and safe.
We’ll always involve you in decisions about your care, routines, and plans for the future. We’re not here to judge you – we’re here to understand you, help you grow, and support you when things feel tough.
🧑🏫 Illuminate You – Our School
Our school is a bit different from most. It’s called Illuminate You – Lifelong Learning Lodge, and it’s built around your needs, not just timetables. We know that big classrooms and strict routines don’t work for everyone.
You’ll get a say in what you learn, and you’ll work with tutors who understand how to support young people with different experiences. Whether you're interested in maths, music, mechanics, or mental health – we’ve got something for you.
And if you’re having a tough day, we’ll work with you, not against you. We offer therapy, one-to-one support, and practical sessions to help you grow your confidence and skills at your own pace.
🛏️ Supported Accommodation (16+)
If you’re a bit older and ready for more independence, our supported accommodation might be for you. You’ll live in a shared house with other young people, but you’ll have your own space and support to build life skills – like cooking, budgeting, or finding a job.
Our team is always nearby to help with anything you need, and you’ll never be left to figure things out alone. We’ll help you plan your next steps – whether that’s college, work, or living on your own.
🤝 Your Voice Matters
At Illuminate Care, we believe your voice matters. You’ll always be treated with respect, and we’ll always listen to how you feel. You’ll have a key worker or tutor you can talk to, and we’ll include you in meetings and decisions about your care, education, and future.
❤️ You're Not Alone
We know life hasn’t always been easy. But we’re here to walk alongside you and help you figure things out. With the right support, guidance, and a team that believes in you – there’s no limit to what you can achieve.
If you ever have a question or just want to talk, we’re here for you.
