Short breaks

Red Gables a five-bedroom detached property in East Rainton, Sunderland has been purchased by Sunderland City Council on behalf of Together for Children (TfC).

The property has been bought with the intention of it becoming a new overnight short break and daycare home for children and families with SEND needs.

Planning permission has been submitted and it outlines plans for amends to the exterior of the building. The plans also seeking approval to change the purpose of the building from a residential home to a short break provision.

The property is already homely, welcoming, and well maintained, but we will need to carry out some refurbishment work to ensure it best meets the needs of the children and families in Sunderland.

We will work alongside families as well as our experienced teams at TfC to make sure the home works for families and helps children and young people have fun, socialise and gain independence in a supportive and comfortable environment.
