Hollybank Trust
Our Care
Our mission statement is to provide education, residential care, plus a range of therapies and enrichment activities for children, young people and adults with profound and multiple disabilities.
We focus on ability not disability and celebrate our differences.
A local employer
We are a large local employer with around 600 employees and our services are commissioned by 40 local authorities.
Join us to make a difference and help us to continue to make Hollybank a special place to live and learn.
Our homes
We have ten residential homes, seven of these are on our main site in Mirfield, one is in Holmfirth, one in Barnsley and one in South Kirkby.
Each home has been designed to support specific needs and all have access to our education, enrichment, therapeutic and clinical services.
Focus on being family
Because of the work we do, families can focus on being mums, dads, brothers and sisters, rather than teachers, nurses and carers. The impact of our 24/7 care and support goes way beyond our sites too, out into the communities where we operate.
Ability not disability
We know that exceptional care goes beyond making sure individuals have a safe, secure place to live and making sure their daily needs are met. At Hollybank, we work hard to provide holistic care and therapy that encourages people to explore their interests and pushes them to reach their full potential.
We focus on ability, not disability. The people who live with us have complex medical needs, the vast majority use wheelchairs to move around and very few can communicate verbally.
Our on-site therapy team support each individual to provide them with what they need to live a full and happy life.
Our facilities
The needs of our children, young people and adults lie at the heart of everything we do and that’s why we’ve invested in the best facilities possible:
- an outstanding school
- a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy and rebound service
- a forward-thinking assistive technology team that helps people maintain their independence
- beautiful grounds
Nothing pleases us more than seeing smiles on faces. We make peoples’ lives better – not just the children, young people and adults who come here, but also their friends and family.
