Company

What's Out There supports young people with emotional, social and/or behavioural difficulties, by providing safe, structured and nurtured care.  

We believe that the more varied the experiences we can offer; the more opportunities young people will have to develop a thirst for life-long learning. 

We proactively support young people in their individual programme of care and education.  

The education of young people is the key to their success and huge emphasis is placed on young people gaining from informal education to support their formal learning.  This is achieved by making links between the activities and experiences we offer, into their formal education.
