Zefie is a care-focused organisation that provides individual, tailor-made support to strengthen children and families. Their work falls into three main areas:

• Care in crisis: Zefie recruit and train foster families to provide emergency foster care placements for children. They also respond to the arrival of unaccompanied minor refugees.

• Longer-term care: Zefie have a number of houses in residential areas where teenagers live together in small groups, with a dedicated support worker. For older teenagers and young people Zefie organise flatshares and provide supervision to help them live independently.
• Outreach care: providing support to children, young people and families where they are.

They also have an intensive care programme for 6-12 year olds who have experienced trauma. Children are cared for in a rural setting where the focus is on animal-supported therapy.
