Established in 1990 Pear Tree offers a unique therapeutic environment to help children and young people recover from adverse childhood experiences.

  • We operate 6 Small residential homes across Durham, Darlington and North Yorkshire.

  • The homes only offer long term placements and are run by skilled staff with many years experience.

  • All children and young people living in our residential homes have access to Pear Tree Farms for all kinds of therapeutic, educational and recreational activities.

How can we Help?
