"Both the children I have from Ashwood absolutely love it there and don’t want to leave, it’s an amazing place"
MOHAMMED, ashwood house
"My Time at Ashwood has been amazing, The Adults have welcomed me, made me feel at home and I’m happy and shocked in a way how I found a place where I can be myself and be accepted for being myself. I have had full support from everyone and I have felt supported throughout my time here. I have learnt so much and I would not have learnt this much without the support from the team. I love the way we use family friendly terms to make Ashwood feel like one big family and it’s so good for the kids to feel as one family"

"I would say we are a pretty well off family, we have holidays, amazing parties, go out everywhere, we have a nice garden, a good house with big bedrooms. I have a great life. I have lots of adults who care for me and actually like doing it, I get to go out and meet people have fun and life is at the peak that it ever has been in my whole childhood. I love the adults, I see them as my parents"
jordan, ashwood house
"Ashwood is amazing, it’s not just a place where to come to work this is a home where you care for others and others care for you. Being here is amazing; not only being able to make a difference in the children’s lives, but being cared for by ACC homes as a whole makes all the difference in wanting to be at Ashwood. Very grateful to have everyone’s support here and I feel like I’m a part of a family"
