02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Dean & Cauvin are set up to provide a range of intensive, wraparound supports for young people in care. Our services are shaped by the needs and voices of the young people and families we support, and current, local and national policy priorities. Our services include residential care for young people, residential care for young mums and babies, community and transition support as young people move to living independently, and a fostering service. These services are supported by other projects including a food and clothes bank, a wellbeing hub, and being part of the Parent Infant Partnership collaboration.
