Hft
We're a national charity, founded in 1962 by a group of visionary parents. We pioneered the idea that learning disabled adults have the right to choices about how they live and how they are supported, to enable them to lead the best life possible. Our support means learning disabled people can experience life to the full. Whether that means increased independence and improved health or finding meaningful friendships and paid employment. This support varies from a few hours a week to 24 hours a day. Ongoing cuts to social care budgets have placed mounting pressure on local authorities and providers. Today, local authority budgets only cover the basics, or funding for only those with the most complex needs. We don’t feel that is enough. We raise money for things that are no longer funded so that the people we support can thrive.

About Halliwell Homes Halliwell is a social enterprise offering “clinically informed practice” through the medium of education and residential care. Our Restorative Parenting® Recovery Programme is a therapeutic re-parenting programme which focuses on addressing the emotional, behavioural, social and developmental needs of the child.

This also best enables Halliwell to deliver on its mission to improve the psychological well being of children in the looked after sector. The Restorative Parenting® Recovery Programme is an attachment-based, complex trauma-informed approach to treating childhood trauma. It is a time-limited programme that moves children aged 5-12 on entry through a process of recovery so that they can cope with a family environment, which is usually with long term foster parents. The Restorative Education Programme aims to provide the best quality of education and care for vulnerable children through a vibrant curriculum which fully prepares pupils for their future economic wellbeing and nurtures outstanding personal development. Clinically Informed Programme The Restorative Parenting® Recovery Programme is a pioneering approach to treating early childhood trauma. Its sole aim is to enable children to sustain a long-term family environment. At Halliwell we put all our effort into preventing children ‘bouncing’ around the looked after system and suffering the exponential negative impact that multiple placement breakdowns have on their psychological and physical health. When children enter our Programme they effectively start ‘therapy’ straight away. Our Programme is psychologically-informed at every step, from referral to long after a child transitions from us to their new home. We use an attachment-theory model.

Kibble
Kibble is Scotland’s specialist provider of services for at risk children and young people. Our care, education and specialist interventions help disadvantaged young people build themselves a brighter future. A Scottish charity Our nineteenth century philanthropic founder, Elizabeth Kibble, was heiress to a textile fortune and on her death in 1840, she left a portion of her wealth to establish a home for “youthful offenders”. Kibble has evolved for more than a century and a half from this point while always staying true to its original mission of supporting young people facing adversity. Kibble is one of Scotland’s oldest charities and seeks to honour Elizabeth Kibble’s legacy by continuing to support young people from the local area and across Scotland. A social enterprise In 1996, Kibble embarked on a phase of its development that would see it become one of the country’s leading social enterprises. The redefining of local authority boundaries meant a loss of financial support from the public sector and Kibble was faced with closing its doors or finding a radically different model of financial support. It opted to become a social enterprise, a business model in which any financial surplus is reinvested into the organisation and never distributed to owners, shareholders, investors or directors. Almost two decades later, Kibble continues as one of Scotland’s largest genuine social enterprises and values its role in promoting social enterprise as a sustainable and ethical business model.
