About Us
Our Passion Is Positive Outcome
EstherSwift Care, Provided and Run by Esther Swift Limited: A specialist service provider that supports vulnerable children, young people and young adults who are at risk of social exclusion, challenging behaviors and/or with complex emotional needs.
We started with a clear vision, which was to support young people to become emotionally resilient to live independently, build new healthier relationships, and create opportunities to study and work.
