St Christopher’s vision is for every child and young person to be safe, loved & happy, to achieve their potential and have a bright future. Our mission is to create brighter futures for children and young people. We do this by providing fostering, residential and support services where children and young people can feel safe and cared for. We support them to make positive relationships which give
them the confidence to succeed. We have six values that guide our work: caring, respectful, professional, honest, flexible and creative. Our work is shaped by the ‘Head, Heart, Hands’ principles of social pedagogy. The Head represents the evidence-base behind our practice; Heart is for the meaningful relationships we forge with young people; and the Hands symbolise how we equip young people for real life by empowering them to make decisions. We work alongside young people to support their development, grow their confidence and reach their full potential.
