Orchard House Northampton Ltd supports care-experienced young people to build confidence develop practical skills and move towards greater independence.
Established in 2019 by former foster carers Mark and Ruth Carter the organisation grew from a belief that young people need a safe welcoming home trusted relationships and consistent encouragement to thrive and develop their independence with support. That personal commitment continues to shape our work.
Today we operate one 24/7 staffed supported accommodation provision in Northampton within our Ofsted-registered service for young people aged 1617 alongside two 18 provisions in Northampton and Milton Keynes. Our 18 accommodation provides visiting support with access to out-of-hours advice helping young adults manage increasing independence.
Our Journey to Independence life skills programme helps young people develop skills in areas such as budgeting cooking managing a home building relationships and preparing for work or education alongside daily independent routines. Support reflects each persons needs abilities and aspirations with young people actively involved in decisions about their lives.
We achieved Ofsted registration for supported accommodation in September 2023. We are now preparing for our next stage of development: opening a registered childrens home subject to Ofsted registration to extend the care and support we can offer.
We are a small committed team that values compassion professionalism and accountability. We welcome people who can build trusting relationships maintain clear boundaries and recognise the difference that reliable thoughtful support can make.
