About VICO Care & Wellbeing

Every young person deserves a brighter future.

At VICO Care & Wellbeing, we believe every child and young person deserves to feel safe, valued and supported to achieve their full potential. We are a family-run organisation dedicated to providing high-quality, child-centred residential care for young people aged 8-17.

“Children thrive when they feel safe, listened to, respected and loved.”

Our homes are more than places to live. They are nurturing environments where young people can develop confidence, build meaningful relationships and discover the opportunities they need to create brighter futures.

VICO Family-Run Residential Care Home
Our Core Belief
Adults who genuinely care, celebrate achievements and remain alongside young people through life's challenges.
OUR ORIGINS

Our Story

VICO Care & Wellbeing was founded with a shared vision of creating homes where children and young people can experience stability, belonging and hope.

As a family-run organisation, we understand the importance of trust, compassion and creating environments that feel warm, welcoming and genuinely supportive. Our family values shape the way we lead, the relationships we build and the care we provide every day.

We believe every child deserves adults who genuinely care about their future, celebrate their achievements and remain alongside them through life’s challenges. That belief influences every decision we make. Our aim is not simply to provide residential care—we are committed to creating homes where children feel valued, develop confidence and are empowered to achieve their full potential.
