Glow Futures

Glow Futures is a specialist residential care provider for children aged 4 to 11 who have experienced trauma, particularly in the context of caregiving. Based in Dorset, the organisation offers family-style therapeutic homes designed to provide stability while a suitable long-term family placement is planned. Possible destinations include foster care, kinship care, adoption, special guardianship, or reunification with birth families.

Glow’s integrated, trauma-informed approach combines nurturing day-to-day care with therapeutic support. Its clinical and residential teams assess each child’s needs, help them feel safe and build trusting relationships, and plan a gradual transition to a family home. Foster carers and local fostering agencies are involved in this process to support appropriate, secure matches.

Each home is designed to accommodate up to two children, with Therapeutic Parents providing daily care, guidance, and support. Glow’s first home, a family-style property in Poole, Dorset, is described as due to open in November 2025. The organisation also shares information about its model, transition process, education, activities, referrals, and career opportunities.
