Our semi-independent housing is more than just a place to live. They bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood, preparing children for the challenges of living independently.
Some young people have experienced leaving care as ‘the instant expectation of adulthood’. All of a sudden, they are assumed to know how to cook for themselves, run a household, and manage their finances, all at once and without support.
This is why spending 16+ weeks at home prior to actually leaving care can be extremely beneficial. We provide secure, comfortable homes for care leavers, homeless teenagers, and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children to learn the life skills they will need to transition to independent living.
Our team supports young people to develop the practical skills, confidence and routines they need to live independently and plan for their future.
