Here at Aurora progress is at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to find
what works for individuals and use individual strengths to develop the whole
person. Our network and connections mean that we are able to signpost our
clients to services that may benefit them even if we do not offer it ourselves.

Services For young people growing up in our care system the time spent with
family is often an infrequent and special occasion. On average a young person in
long-term foster care is likely to have the opportunity to spend time with their
parents and siblings four to six times per year. It is often hard for families
to come to terms with the fact that they are not able to live together- it is
vital that when they can spend time together it is supported, constructive and
safe. We offer a choice of activity based environments for our supported contact
sessions, our staff provide support and encouragement for young people and their
families to engage in a range of activities, strengthening relationships and
providing guidance where needed. This results in everyone getting a positive
experience from the time spent together and the activity focus can help to
detract from painful memories.
