At WhiteTrees Group, we believe every child deserves more than safety; they deserve opportunity. The opportunity to heal, to belong, to discover who they are, and to build a brighter future.
That belief is at the heart of everything we do, and it started with our founder, Simon Barr, after his own experience as a care-experienced young person left him feeling like he had no future of his own.
Simon founded WhiteTrees Group with a clear purpose: to create a place where children are genuinely understood, cared for and given the chance to succeed in life. He saw that too many young people in care were being moved from place to place, misunderstood and written off by systems that focused on behaviour rather than need. Simon set out to build something different, a values-led organisation with humanity and purpose at its core.
WhiteTrees Group was built on three promises:
This commitment led to the development of our Therapeutic Offer, a holistic, therapeutic framework that supports every child’s emotional, physical, psychological and social development.
Our model recognises that trauma, loss, neglect and instability can shape behaviour, but with the right support, identity can be rebuilt, resilience can grow, and potential can be unlocked.
At WhiteTrees, we don’t just care for children, we build brighter futures.
