In 2024, CELLS opened two rural-based respite houses designed to give young people and families a safe, calm space to reset and feel supported. Set in peaceful surroundings, these houses provide a comfortable environment away from everyday pressures, allowing young people the time and space to focus on their wellbeing.
Each house has been thoughtfully designed with modern, high-quality facilities, creating a welcoming space where young people feel secure, respected and valued. Support is delivered by relatable mentors who offer consistent guidance, encouragement and understanding, helping young people build confidence and feel at ease.
The houses also offer flexibility, including the option for young people to move location if they feel targeted, ensuring safety always remains a priority. The positive impact of these spaces is already clear, with young people showing improved wellbeing, stronger engagement and a renewed sense of stability.
These respite houses reflect CELLS’ ongoing commitment to providing safe, supportive solutions that enable young people not just to cope, but to thrive.
