The Limes provides therapeutic residential care and education in Ashton-Under-Lyne, offering a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for young people with complex emotional and psychological risks and needs who have displayed harmful sexual behaviour. The home provides the foundations of safety, stability, consistency, and security, which is underpinned by a staff team who are committed to fostering a genuine sense of belonging. At The Limes, every young person is listened to, valued, and supported through their journey, with care that is individualised, respectful, and responsive to their unique experiences. The therapeutic model at The Limes is embedded into the daily life of the home. Each young person receives regular input from the in-house therapy team, through structured 1-1 and group sessions. The therapy team also provide training, advice and reflective practice for staff, ensuring that a therapeutic approach to care is fully embedded within practice and care of the young people. This team around the child approach aims to help young people build confidence, resilience, and emotional literacy, developing the skills they need to engage more fully in life, whether that’s enjoying free time in the community, reconnecting with education, developing hobbies, or forming healthy friendships. The home promotes independence at a pace that feels safe and achievable, preparing young people for a future where they feel empowered and capable of navigating change.
