Leaving care shouldn’t feel like no one cares.
Every young person deserves a safe home, enough money to live on, and people around them who truly care.
Settle’s Advocacy Forum is a space where care-experienced young people lead the conversation on what needs to change.
It brings together young voices, frontline professionals, and decision-makers to share lived experiences, challenge injustice, and co-create solutions.
Through the forum, we have developed our campaign: A Home of Our Own.
Stable, secure housing - a safe, suitable home for the long term
Enough money - to live on and start to build a fulfilling and independent life
Love and care – a network of relationships and support to enable young people to flourish and thrive
Young people leaving care deserve this as much as anyone
“The reason why I joined the advocacy group was to draw upon my own lived experience, because I'm a very firm believer that despite the adversity that I have faced, it wouldn't have been without a greater reason, and I firmly believe that greater reason is bettering the lives of other care experienced individuals.”
Leaving care shouldn’t feel like no one cares. By signing this pledge, you’re standing with care-experienced young people and calling for a future where every young person has a safe home, enough money to live on, and people who truly care. Together, we can make sure leaving care means moving forward.
