Our Story

Our Story and Journey

Aasra Care was founded with a clear vision: to create homes where children and young people feel safe, valued, and supported to thrive. From the very beginning, our focus has been on therapeutic care, delivered with the warmth and consistency of a family approach rather than a business mindset. Our journey began with the opening of our first homes, designed to meet the diverse needs of young people through solo placements, two‑bedded, and three‑bedroom settings. Each home was carefully developed to provide stability, belonging, and opportunities for growth. Over time, we have expanded our provision, ensuring that every environment reflects our ethos of compassion, resilience, and hope.

Along the way, we have achieved recognition from Ofsted for the quality of our care, but our greatest measure of success remains the progress and confidence shown by the young people we support. Every milestone from a child finding their voice, to building trust, to preparing for independence  is part of the story we are proud to share.

Today, Aasra Care continues to grow, guided by the same principles that shaped our beginning: therapeutic practice, trauma‑informed care, and a commitment to helping young people build brighter futures. Our journey is ongoing, and every child who joins us becomes part of that story.
