About Us
Small by design. Big on care.
Tender Roots is a specialised therapeutic residential home where young people aged 10–17 are given the safety, stability and belief they need to flourish.
Our Story
Rooted in care, growing futures
Tender Roots provides a warm, nurturing, and therapeutic home for up to two children aged 10–17 years. Our approach promotes empowerment, independence, and choice, helping children develop essential life skills and reach their full potential.
