Every child deserves a place to belong.

At The Lily Tree Group, we believe every child and young person deserves to feel safe, valued, understood and supported to reach their full potential.

Nurturing environments, meaningful opportunities

We are developing a specialist group of services for children and young people, including those with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs.

Our first priority is the development of specialist children’s residential care, with a longer-term vision to expand into education, supported living, therapeutic services, enrichment and specialist transport.

Our approach is rooted in compassion, dignity, stability and the belief that every individual has unique strengths and potential.
