Homes2Inspire is part of Shaw Trust, one of the UK's largest charities and a leading not‑for‑profit provider of public services. Putting children and young people at the centre of everything we do has driven our growth from opening our first home in Northamptonshire in 2007 to becoming the UK's largest charitably owned residential children's home provider. Today, we operate nearly 60 homes, two supported accommodation developments, and deliver high‑needs foster care through Fostering2Inspire and Homes & Horizons.
