About us

Focussing on ability not disability

As a charity, we pride ourselves on placing the children, young people, and adults we care for at the heart of everything we do. Hollybank’s ethos is about focussing on ability, not disability and we know that providing exceptional care is about more than just meeting people’s daily needs. We continue to give people the opportunity to explore their interests and enjoy life.

Our homes

We have ten residential homes, seven of these are on our 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.

Nearly 70 years of experience

Everyone deserves to have a home where they feel safe and supported. Over the past seventy years, we have built our reputation as the experts in residential care for children, young people and adults with profound disabilities. Everything we do here at Hollybank is designed to support individuals so they can learn, laugh and live as independently as they can.

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.
