Discover the Heartwarming World of Regis House: A Place Where Young People Flourish

At Progress, we take immense pride in providing a nurturing and supportive environment for our young people. One of our standout services, Regis House, is a testament to our commitment to fostering a sense of community and belonging for all our young people. Led by the dedicated and passionate Annette, Regis House exemplifies our ethos of creating a family-like atmosphere where children can truly thrive. 

A Home Away from Home 

Regis House is more than just a young people’s home; it is a place where they feel safe, loved, and valued. As Annette, the manager, describes, “We very much pride ourselves on being as much a family home as we can possibly be, given the needs and the provision of the service that we are providing. We are very intimate as a home, and we pride ourselves on being as much a family home as anybody could ever have.” 

This intimate, family-oriented approach is what makes Regis House unique. Despite the challenges and the intensive care required, the team members at Regis House strive to create an environment that mirrors the warmth and support of a traditional family setting. This dedication is evident in the positive feedback from social workers and guardians who frequently commend the home for its intimate and nurturing atmosphere. 

One of the key aspects of life at Regis House is the emphasis on social interaction and community involvement. Annette highlights the importance of these activities, noting that they “promote social interaction, give opportunities to meet young people with similar needs, abilities, cultures, religions, and help build friendships in a safe and secure environment.” 

Whether it is a casual social event or a structured activity, the goal is always the same: to provide our young people with opportunities to engage with their peers, build lasting friendships, and feel a sense of normalcy and inclusion. These activities are crucial for their development, helping them to prepare for transitions into adult services and fostering a sense of independence and confidence.

Celebrating Outstanding Achievements: Heartwarming Updates and Recognitions

We are delighted to share the remarkable acknowledgements recently received by two of our residential homes, Regis House and Portland House, in recognition of the exceptional efforts of our team members.

During a recent visit, Martina, a family links worker with the Birmingham Children’s Trust, expressed her admiration for Regis House, describing it as a welcoming family environment that surpasses typical expectations of a children’s home. Annette, our Registered Manager, extended her gratitude to Martina and highlighted the home’s commitment to embodying a family-like atmosphere.

Martina commended the calm and welcoming atmosphere she experienced, underscoring the positive impact Regis House has on its residents. Notably, one of our young individuals at Regis House has achieved significant personal growth by independently managing tasks such as ordering and paying for meals and tickets. We applaud their achievements and ongoing progress.

Similarly, the team at Portland House has received high praise for their dedication and impact on the lives of the young individuals in their care. Feedback specifically highlighted Dani’s (Registered Manager) extraordinary commitment and compassion towards the young people, underscoring the profound positive influence she and her team have on their well-being.

“I did cry, and I’ve not stopped after my visit to Portland House. The passion of Dani, and the way she cares for her young people, was incredibly inspiring. In a world where so many people turn their backs on challenging young persons, people like Dani are saving them, loving them and showing whole hearted commitment to improving their lives. WOW. She really did make an impact on me and I hope my praises can be passed on to her.”

Such testimonials reaffirm our collective dedication to improving lives and making a lasting difference.
