The funding comes from NPIF II-FW Capital Debt Finance which is managed by FW Capital as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II.

It is helping Wigan based Panacea Children Services to open nine dual-placement children's homes. These are specifically designed to support children with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) and Learning Disabilities (LD) and provide a safe and caring therapeutic environment tailored to the unique needs of each child.

The funding is also supporting activities around the recruitment and training of specialised staff equipped to handle the complexities of caring for children with EBD and LD, ensuring that high-quality children’s services are consistently delivered across all its homes. This will further support the smooth management and operation of the expanded network homes, allowing for seamless service delivery and care coordination.
