Young People

“I only feel comfortable and happy when I am at Kimber House.”

 

“I didn’t know where I belonged until I came to this home.”

 

“The staff at Kimber are amazing and I know they care for me.”

 

 

“Thank you everyone for all the hard work, help and support you provided during the time OL spent with you, it was really appreciated.”

 

“Thank you so very much for all you have done to look after and support TO (and me at times!) whilst she has been in your care.”

 

“You have gone over and above on many occasions, and all of your care warmth and commitment has been so much appreciated.”

 

“The safety and welfare of young people has a very high priority in the home. The result is that young people report that they feel very safe. The staff understand and are very clear about young people’s individual safety issues, and risks are exceptionally well managed and minimised.”

 

“The staff have a very positive approach to young people’s behaviour. They ensure that praise and re-enforcement for good behaviour is at the forefront of all behaviour management.”

Good luck in the future and thank you again for all of your support.”
