About Whitmore House
Whitmore House, part of Rise N Thrive, is a specialist therapeutic children’s home providing high-quality residential care for up to three boys aged 10–17 years.
Designed to offer far more than accommodation, our home provides a safe, nurturing and therapeutic environment where young people can recover from trauma, build resilience, develop healthy relationships and work towards a positive future.
Whitmore House is not simply a placement; it is a home where children feel valued, respected and listened to, with a genuine sense of belonging.
