Rooted in Compassion,
Guided by Evidence

At Vines Support Services Ltd, we provide safe and nurturing homes specifically for children with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD). We believe every child deserves a space where they can express themselves freely, be understood without judgment, and build the confidence and resilience they need to thrive.

Our approach is firmly rooted in the PACE model — four guiding principles that shape how every member of our team interacts with every young person in our care:

P
Playfulness

Creating joy and connection in everyday moments.

A
Acceptance

Embracing each child's story and feelings.

C
Curiosity

Understanding behaviour without judgment.

E
Empathy

Building trust through genuine connection.
