About Giraffe Children’s Services
Giraffe Children’s Services was established with a clear purpose: to create safe, supportive and empowering homes for children and young people with complex needs.
We strive to be a beacon of excellence in children’s residential care, providing a safe, nurturing home where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
We understand that children with LD and SEND often require more than just accommodation – they need patience, understanding, consistency and specialist support. Our experienced team works alongside each young person to provide tailored support that reflects their abilities, aspirations and personal journey.
Based in Blackburn, we support young people from Lancashire and surrounding areas, working in partnership with families, social workers, schools and health professionals to ensure child-centred care.
