About Us
We are a semi-independent supported living provider for Looked After Children who are aged 16 plus.
Based in Nottingham, we started working with young people across the country, both in the community and within youth offending institutes and prisons, who were facing challenges with drug use, drug dealing, and general gang-related criminality. Our team of mentors provided a person-centred approach to counselling, trauma management and crisis intervention and supported young people to engage in positive activities such as alternative education and life transformation programmes. This holistic approach saw us achieve great success with enabling young people to turn their lives around for the better and very soon, Local Authorities were commissioning us to do more and more work with their young people, thus Mixed Foundations Holistic Homes (MFHH) was born.
Delivering bespoke services, we specialise in working with hard to reach young people and supporting them to transition to independent living by equipping them with the skills and confidence they need to prepare them to face the future and move on successfully to adulthood.
All our properties are located within suburban residential areas around Nottingham and are furnished to a high standard. We are able to offer accommodation on a solo or shared occupancy basis dependent on the young person's support needs and their desires.
We want to build respect and trust with our young people, with a view to empowering them to strive for positive outcomes.
