Eagle's Nest Project

Who we are

Eagle's Nest is a charity set up to support 11-18 year olds who are not able to effectively engage in mainstream education, often as a result of eary childhood trauma.

Our interventions aim to develop self-regulation skills, helping young people to move from the automatic fight/flight/freeze responses to higher level executive function in order to see them thrive within education and society as a whole.

We give our young people the opportunity to realise their potential by providing innovative, holistic programme underpinned by building trusted relationships.

Our culture and values

Rooted in Christian values of love and acceptance of all, our values are:

• Accept: We believe in accepting every young person as they are; no matter what their history, no-one gets turned away.
• Belief: We believe that every young person brings a unique quality and has something positive to offer.
• Relate: We believe that modelling positive behaviour is the best way for students to learn what they have not seen/experienced before.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Eagle’s Nest is an educational charity rooted in Christian values of love and acceptance. We expect all members of the Eagle's Nest community, (staff, students and volunteers) to respect each other for who they are.

We work with young people from all backgrounds, including those from all faiths or none. We are committed to high quality support and care, ensuring the ongoing welfare of the young people we work with. It is therefore vital that all staff are able to communicate effectively and without judgement as they work in an environment with young people and families who may have a very different lifestyle to their own.
