Oak Villas

Ages 16 - 25 yrs

At Oak Villas, we will support up to eight male and females, aged 16+ in a shared group living situation, not limited to looked after young people or care leavers.

Central to our mission is prioritising the needs of the young people, making it the focal point of all our efforts. The residence itself is situated in a beautiful setting, creating an environment that promotes feelings of safety, security, and support. We aim to facilitate and support the forging of meaningful relationships and the enhancement of skills and aspirations for the future. Upon their arrival at our service, our young residents are warmly welcomed, provided with a comprehensive young person's guide, and supported in exploring local amenities to ensure a sense of safety and comfort.

Our Ethos

At Parkside we believe that every child living within our home has the fundamental right to:

Be treated and valued as an individual, to receive individualised support and to be given our special attention.
Be cared for by people who are experienced and who can understand their needs.
Have fun.

Be treated equally and no less favourably than others.
Receive respect and be shown understanding for their cultural and religious beliefs.
Receive an education which enhances their opportunities and life prospects in every sense.
Receive prompt attention in relation to all their healthcare needs.
Feel safe, feel loved and to always know that someone cares.

Be informed about important decisions which affect their lives and to be able to express their views and opinions.
Have privacy, dignity and personal space for themselves and their personal belongings.
Have the opportunity to make their own choices and think independently.
Complain about anything which they feel is unfair or makes them unhappy and for their complaint to be listened to and responded to.
Be able to build and develop meaningful friendships and connections inside and outside of the home.
