Residential Care

Fresh Start currently has 10 Residential Care units throughout the country. All of these units are fully registered with the Registration and Inspection Services. They are specifically designed to meet the individual needs of all of the children and young people we care for, i.e. we fit them, and not they fit us.

Foster Care

The Foster Care Service of Fresh Start will cease to operate on 24th July 2017. No further Referrals will be considered alongside Applications of Interest to become Foster Carers.

Please contact the office at 059-9139454 if you have any queries regarding this.

Fresh Start have been in operation since 2001 providing quality Residential Care to vulnerable children and young people.
The resiliency of our staff group ensures that unplanned discharges of children/young people, over the 13 years since Fresh Start commenced in Ireland, is less than 5% of all children/young people who have been admitted to the service.
A key component of Fresh Start’s objectives for the young people in their care is a framework of assessment, to ensure the effective provision of services. Without identifying the needs of the young people we work with, it will not be possible to improve their lives.
Fresh Start places great importance on viewing children and young people as a diverse group with correspondingly diverse needs: We strive to recognise the individuality of each young person and approach care provision accordingly.
The Goal of our Community Support Services is to Care and Share.

Welcome

We at Fresh Start provide innovative and tailored services though our Residential, Community Support Services and Therapeutic Services. All of our services incorporate therapeutic assessment frameworks and all of our policies are underpinned with the relative legislative and best practice guidelines. We work in partnership with the Child & Family Agency (TUSLA) in the Republic of Ireland and the South East Trust in Northern Ireland, to implement individualised care packages to maximise the outcomes for the children and young people in our care.
