Our Home

Welcome to Tala House – where care meets connection, and every young person is given space to grow, heal, and thrive.

We’re proud to introduce Tala House. A warm and nurturing home located in a picturesque riverside town near Chelmsford, close to Maldon, Southend, and South Woodham.

Tala House is a beautifully built, five-bedroom home registered to care for up to five young people of mixed gender, aged 10–18, who may be navigating emotional and behavioural challenges. The home also features a bespoke annex, offering solo or sibling placements ideal for those in need of a tailored and more personalised experience.

What makes Tala House truly special is the blend of its tranquil surroundings and its thoughtful, person-centred approach. Set within a small, peaceful town, young people benefit from both a calm environment and strong community connections giving them a safe space to reflect, while also nurturing independence.

The house itself is spacious and tastefully decorated, combining traditional charm with modern touches. It's a place where young people can feel genuinely at home, supported by a team who truly understands the impact of trauma, disrupted care, and attachment history.

At Tala House, we take a trauma-informed and person-centred approach to care. Many young people arrive at our door following breakdowns in previous placements or from challenging circumstances. Here, we offer stability, structure, and a consistent, caring presence because we know how important trust and relationships are to healing.

Whether it's a solo placement offering tailored support or a dual placement for siblings to remain together, Tala House is built to adapt and support each young person’s unique journey. It can also serve as a bridging placement a gentle step toward transitioning into a shared home environment when the time is right.

At Tala House, we do more than provide care. We create opportunity, cultivate resilience, and champion the potential within every young person.

Because every young person deserves a future filled with hope.
