Peter Battle

Peter Battle

CEO

I’ve worked in the social care sector for many years and my passion lies in providing fulfilment to some of the most vulnerable people in society. We have a fantastic, experienced, passionate team who always ensure the child or young person is at the centre of all we do. We are very lucky to benefit from the most comprehensive therapeutic offering for children, young people and carers (MATTS), low caseloads, excellent Children’s Champions, market leading bespoke training and a culture of openness, honesty and integrity.

The most satisfying part of my role is knowing that you and all our staff continually go that extra mile to help children overcome challenges and become confident young adults ready to take on the world.

Outside of work, my wife and I have two daughters, who have me wrapped around their little fingers.

Chief Operating Officer

I have worked my whole career in the social care sector and qualified as a social worker in 2004.   Growing up in a fostering family has given me the drive and passion to want to help other children and fostering families like the ones i grew up with, building brighter futures together. I feel proud to  be part of Capstone and to support our fostering families to make the difference in children’s lives. 

In my spare time my I love spending time with family and enjoy a spa day and pampering session!

Annette Fairhurst

MATTS Clinical Director

As an Art Psychotherapist my journey working within the fostering sector began in 2009. Since then, my passion for working alongside children and fostering families has only grown. I feel privileged to support children and young people who have experienced trauma and adverse experiences.


My role is to ensure that our MATTS (Multi-disciplinary Assessment Treatment & Therapy Service) continues to provide adaptive, responsive and flexible therapeutic with the children and fostering families at the centre of it all.
