Our impact

Since we launched in 2015 we’ve supported hundreds of young people as they move on from the care system, providing transformative support to help them build a stable life.

2025-26

Helping young people to build a more stable life

The need for our work is growing all the time. Government figures published in October 2024 show that the number of care leavers facing homelessness increased by 54% over the last five years. Care-experienced young people are 9 times more likely to be made homeless than their peers.

Our mission is to reverse this trend. 2024/25 was the final year of our 2022 to 2025 strategy, which focused on preventing more young people from becoming homeless. This year, we worked with 183 young people, the highest number ever, providing them with over 1,570 hours of personalised, 1:1 support.
