Lanshaw Crescent has been operating as a home run by Catholic Care since 1998.  It is a home for 4 young people aged 14-18, currently there are 3 young people accommodated.

The home is provided by Catholic Care as a children’s home, with Leeds as the assisting authority.

There is a House Committee for Lanshaw or the home on which the local authority is represented by members and an officer.

The accommodation comprises:

Facilites include personal T.V.s – communal digital TV – video – games console – dining room, bicycles – board and table games – a range of books – table for drawing and painting – daily newspapers – recreational outdoor activities

At Lanshaw all young people are encouraged to follow their interests, and we will try to provide funding and if needed staff to accompany them on these activities.

We also try to provide activities each week that may be of interest.  These include playing pool, swimming, going to the cinema, and fishing. 

As well as activities we look to taking all young people on holiday each year.  In the past we have taken young people from Lanshaw to Benidorm, Rhodes and on activity holidays.
