Tucked away in peaceful countryside, High Oaks is surrounded by nature, fresh air, and the gentle sounds of the countryside.

We recently took some aerial photos and they really do show the lovely location where High Oaks is based.

Hi everyone!

Over the last year we have been very busy here at High Oaks, not only with the support workers continuing to do the great jobs they do supporting those who live at High Oaks but also with the planning, building and completion of two very bespoke chalets.

I cannot describe these Chalets in words, so take a look yourself with the video below. Enjoy!

Enjoying art is great for our mental health, it encourages expression and engagement. Who else enjoys art? If so, post us some of your artwork.
