Care for young people aged 16-25
Willow Tree Support Services aims to provide a warm, safe and caring environment for vulnerable young people between the ages of 16 and 25.
We have eight provisions in Berkshire and one in Cheltenham, all providing accommodation and support, helping young people to develop their independence skills and improve their quality of life.
All Willow Tree Support Services’ provisions are suitably furnished to include a bed, clothes storage, food storage and cooking facilities, toilet and washing facilities, access to laundry and space to study. Our provisions have excellent access to multicultural town centres.
Our service-users are likely to have a range of needs including experience of childhood trauma, PTSD, mental health needs, substance misuse, sexually harmful behaviour, self-harm, experience of sexual exploitation, learning difficulties, criminal exploitation, domestic violence, and anger management problems.

Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Young People
We have specialist provisions to accommodate and support unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people (UASYP or UASC) who are making a claim for asylum.
Kind Words
Rarely as a semi-independent accommodation and service provider do we gain an insight into the lived experience of a young person. The information provided by Willow Tree Children’s Services such as the baseline needs assessment and various risk assessments were detailed covering a significant amount of information. The information was nuanced and sensitive with supporting evidence arising from incidents rather than generic scenarios.
On a consistent basis my organisation has placed reliance on both the quality and breadth of information provided by WTCS which has enabled us to assess whether the behaviours exhibited by the young person were isolated or a pattern. The information provided has helped to fill the gaps and act as a catalyst for professional enquiry and judgement.
I take this opportunity, on behalf of all colleagues at my organisation, to thank WTCS for the excellent work they have produced.
