Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are taking part in the KM Charity Dragon Boat Race to raise money for the Caldecott Foundation.

The Caldecott Foundation cares for children who have significant social, emotional and behavioural difficulties, due to suffering severe neglect and trauma in the early stages of life.

Providing residential care for up to fifty children and young people aged 5 to 18 in comfortable homes with an assessment centre, on-site school, vocational learning centre and therapy service, Caldecott delivers a comprehensive package of care and education tailored to each young person’s individual needs.

Caldecott Foundation runs 6 homes in Ashford, Kent along with an Emergency and Assessment Centre, as well as a supported accommodation unit to bridge a gap between care and independence. As well as these provisions in Kent, Caldecott now has an Emergency and Assessment Centre in Fledborough, Nottingham.

Over one hundred years of experience caring for vulnerable children has given the Caldecott Foundation knowledge and expertise to help them rebuild their lives and look forward to a bright future. Their philosophy is that every child is an individual and they tailor the care they provide to these specific needs. They believe that this combination of experience, child centred practice and individualised care makes them uniquely suitable for the task of caring for the children.
