Our Vision

Havenswood Trust is driven by a compassionate vision to build an inclusive community village where neurodivergent children, young people, and their families are seen, supported, and empowered.

Through Havenswood Community Village, we’re building a place where education, care, and community come together in one place… a lifeline for families in Scarborough and beyond.

Our Model of Care

Our community village will provide a strong support structure not only for our students on permanent placement, but also for neurodivergent children in mainstream schools across Scarborough and the coastal regions who need additional help. We’ll offer short term placements with a focus on re-integration for those who are struggling and through our Bridging Team, we’ll offer outreach, therapies, and shared expertise - extending care beyond our own walls. We want to ensure every child has the support they need to thrive wherever they are.

LEARNING PARTNERSHIPS

Through research and life experience, we’ve developed a model in education and family support – one we believe will be a game-changer, because it addresses the whole person; not just the classroom or the clinic, but the family and social environment too.

By bringing education and all round family support together on one site, we can ensure educators, healthcare professionals and experts work seamlessly to support each child’s academic, emotional and physical wellbeing from the very start of their journey.

By weaving a tailored teaching strategy with professional therapeutic support and a vibrant peer and social network, we’ll create an environment where everyone feels understood, included, valued, and empowered to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Step by Step - our Timeline

We’re taking a phased approach to our project, but hope to have all our facilities up and running within the next two to three years.

As a charity, we’ll rely on the generosity of donors, volunteers and partners to help us raise money to develop the wellbeing centre and related facilities, employ the right people and maintain our services.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, healthcare professional or friend of the community, there’s a way to help support us at Havenswood.

Join us in building a vibrant, compassionate community where every child is empowered, every family is supported and every life is valued.
