Our World Ready Programme
There is nothing more exciting than going off into the world; equally there can be nothing more daunting.
We present our young people with skills that are practical and aspirational and we work with them to embrace the opportunities that the outside world presents.
We believe that being World Ready involves two things:
Understanding through positive experiences that the world is huge and exciting!
Having life skills which give you the confidence to operate successfully in it!
Each of our young people takes part in the World Ready Programme.
There is no limit to our aspirations for them and we want them to have no limits on their aspirations for themselves.

The Places You Go!
We are inspired by Dr Suess’s famous poem:
Leaving care aged 18 should not be falling off a cliff. It should be walking with confidence into the future.
We are determined that young people leaving Woodbridge Care will not just take great memories – they will take great skills and ambitions and will face their future with confidence.

Congratulations!

You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
