Undershaw proudly grows with over eighty young people, with hidden disabilities and barriers to society flourishing and growing. Holmes states, “It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light.” Whilst his comment is about dear Watson, I feel that my staff are also deserving of such comments: Calm and intelligent, they support and guide those under their watch to become the best they can be and embrace life ahead.

Undershaw offers us a home and place to support each of these young people to shine, with its beautiful demeanour providing the perfect place for the staff to ignite the light of learning in each young person’s mind.
