BudWood Ltd

At Budwood Limited, we are a dedicated private company committed to providing high-quality accommodation, care, and support to young people. Our mission is to offer safe, comfortable, and nurturing home environments where vulnerable children and young people can rebuild trust, develop essential life skills, and successfully transition into independence and adulthood.

Who We Are

Operating across the UK and led by experienced directors such as Joanne August and Jonathan David Clark, our organisation specialises in therapeutic residential childcare. We work closely with local authorities to support young people aged 12 to 18 who have experienced loss, trauma, abuse, or placement breakdowns, providing them with structured care and stability.
