Information for Commissioners
St Cuthbert’s Care is one of the largest and most successful providers of children’s residential care in the North East. In addition to placing children and young people from within our region, we also consider referrals from the surrounding areas and nationally.
Each of our homes is registered with Ofsted and can accommodate young people of both genders who are aged between seven and seventeen years.

The latest Ofsted report rated the home as Good and Kerry was recognised for her excellent leadership and management skills.
Our Newcastle home is set in beautiful spacious grounds with a large, welcoming garden at the front.
