About Dunborne

A Relationship-Led Approach to Support

A home should be somewhere a young person feels secure, respected and able to be themselves.

At Dunborne, we understand that every young person arrives with their own story, strengths and hopes for the future. We do not expect young people to fit into one fixed programme. We take time to understand the individual and shape support around their needs, goals and pace.

Our approach is relationship-led, trauma-informed and focused on helping young people build confidence, resilience and independence.

Our homes in Exmouth and Paignton offer a calm, welcoming place where young people can feel safe, develop independence and begin the next chapter of their lives with the right support around them.

We believe young people make progress when they are supported by adults who are consistent, patient and genuinely interested in them.

Our team provides structure, encouragement and practical guidance while giving young people room to make choices, take responsibility and learn from everyday life.

This balance of support and independence helps young people prepare for life beyond Dunborne.

Dunborne’s homes are staffed by compassionate, qualified and experienced teams who provide support 24 hours a day.

The team works closely with young people, professionals and wider support networks to create a stable environment where progress feels possible.
