Break - changing young lives

Break Charity 

Our vision is to ensure children, young people and families reach their full potential and shape their own futures in a safe and creative environment.

Break’s core business is the provision of children’s homes for Looked After Children in their home Local Authority.  Break has six mainstream children’s homes in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire and a Therapeutic Fostering Service offering single placements to traumatised young people.

Young people leaving Break’s care continue to be supported by our in-house Moving On Team.

In addition to the mainstream homes, Break has a children’s home for young people with profound learning and physical disabilities and two short-break schemes for children with disabilities.

Break also provides a range of assessment and support services to children at risk through a Residential Family Centre in Lowestoft and a range of community-based services, including assessment work, across East Anglia. Families' House, based in Norwich, provides support and guidance to separating parents, ensuring that the children's needs remain paramount.
