Ready to Make a Difference?

Our No Wrong Door model will focus on providing a robust and asset based intervention to young people aged 12 - 17 years who are on the edge of care, in care or at risk of placement instability. We believe that the NWD approach embraces a closer working relationship with adolescents - a 'working with' rather than a 'doing to' approach.

We feel passionately about being a 'listening' organisation and one where young people do not need to repeat their story to each professional, no matter which agency is involved. Having no preconceived time limits on the duration of support will enable change to happen at a pace that the young person can manage and will have a greater opportunity for sustained improvements and future outcomes.

Salford is a thriving cultural, economic and residential location, well known as a channel for academic and business talent. Children get a great start at a wide range of schools, further education colleges and the award-winning University of Salford. The waterfront development at Media City UK makes Salford a major centre of UK media production.
