Five Rivers

Established in 1989, Five Rivers is one of England’s most experienced providers of children’s social care. Our purpose is to help children recover from neglect, abuse, trauma or family breakdown, turning their lives around so they can flourish and fulfil their potential.

We are proud to be a partner of choice of over 100 local authorities, providing a comprehensive and connected service across five key focus areas: foster care, residential care, education, assessment and therapy and crisis intervention.

We operate across England, guided by a senior leadership team recruited from every key discipline of child care, ensuring that our children’s needs are met and respected.

As a social enterprise, we are a dynamic, ethical organisation committed to giving back. We invest in people, projects, research and training. We go the extra mile, making a difference to the children we work with and the communities they grow up in. We measure our success by the positive impact we have on lives, rather than the profit we make for shareholders.
