Just outside the market town of Sudbury, Unity House is a six-bedded children’s home providing individually tailored systems of support for young people who are making the first moves towards independence. The young people at Unity House benefit from the care of a team dedicated to assisting those who are less intellectually able to negotiate the challenges of adolescence. Unity also supports its young people in accessing local colleges to gain further academic qualifications and social skills. We have a stable staff group that provide a nurturing and caring environment whilst at the same time challenging the young people in a way that helps them develop, gain skills and learn to take greater responsibility for their actions.

“In the five years I have been at The Ryes I have worked within both care and education. I’ve been at Unity House for nearly three years. I like to look not at the behaviour of the young people or staff, but what is behind it. When you find out what makes people tick you can use that knowledge to help them move themselves forward.”
Unity has a very hard-working and experienced staff team who are dedicated to developing each young person’s life skills within a very nurturing environment, allowing growth and development structured for each individual’s ability and needs.
“Young people who took part in the inspection made positive comments about the home and, in particular, their ability to talk to staff”
“The way staff support individual young people is a strength of the home.”
“Young people say that they know how to make a complaint and, when they make them, they are dealt with properly.”
“Young people said that they are involved in meetings about their future and are able to make their views known about this and about life in the home.”
