We work across East Anglia to make life better for children and young people from care and those with complex needs. We firmly believe that every child, no matter their start in life, deserves a bright future.
Experiencing care can be lonely. People come and go, and it’s not unusual to experience multiple houses which rarely become homes. It can often feel out of control.
But Break is different.
Through our wide range of services including fostering, providing stable and loving homes both for those unable to live with their families and those with complex needs, therapeutic support and mentoring programs, we offer a loving and nurturing environment where young individuals can thrive.
We also have a unique promise to all those in our care - a lifelong offer of support. This means we will walk alongside all our young people for however long they need us.
Our aim is to empower those with care experience to overcome their challenges and to feel like they’re part of something special: a family that means they’re never alone.

Young people don’t stop needing someone to be there for them just because they’ve reached a certain age.
We don’t think our responsibility for them ends when they’re 18 or when they leave our service - we believe in lifelong relationships. We regard ourselves as their extended families and, like good parents, we continue to support them after they leave formal care.
From pairing them with a mentor to organising an apprenticeship, teaching them cooking skills to taking them to taster days to helping with university applications, we are committed to providing exciting and life-changing opportunities while walking alongside them every step of the way.
