Who we are
About Settle
Rich Grahame, our CEO, co-founded Settle in 2015 with Katie Slee after spending time working in homeless hostels and seeing firsthand the challenges young people face when moving into their first home.

Our values
Grow the good
We focus on building young people’s strengths rather than dwelling on their weaknesses. Asset based approaches underlie all our services.
Intention isn’t enough
We go the extra mile to ensure we deliver the impact our programmes seek. We are dedicated to improving outcomes for young people.
Young people first
We ensure the needs of the young people we support with are prioritised above all else, and we work to overcome barriers in the system.
Team and board
Bringing skills and experience from different disciplines and backgrounds, our team and board are dedicated to supporting young people through difficult life transitions. To continue to bring more lived experience into our decision-making we have recently set up a youth advisory board.
