The House Project is an amazing way to support my needs as a young person preparing to leave care. I’ll be gaining skills, building friendships with other care leavers and increase my confidence to live independently. The greatest part is that I play a key role in how the space is developed from decoration of the house through to the skills I learn along the way. And best of all, I have long term support whenever I need it. Just because I may go on to live in my own space doesn’t mean I can’t still access the support just by dropping in to the house.

Young people at the heart of decision making

Their collective views and ideas drive the development of all House Projects through the Care Leavers National Movement. They meet on a regular basis to share good practice, talk about and find solutions to any challenges they are facing and to suggest new ways of doing things. They work hard, have fun and their views make a real difference to how young people leave care and move into their own homes.
