Quotes from Young people on the project

The HP is an opportunity that hasn’t been done before. It is the best scheme for moving and being independent

HP has made me more committed and clearer in my mind. I’m feeling happier as things make more sense now

My facilitator brightens up my day with her bubbly personality which makes me feel happy

It gives us opportunities to learn about being independent – opportunities that non-care kids don’t get

It’s much more than the flat – it’s about the support

The HP helps to put warmth around the process of leaving care

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 work hard, have fun and their views make a real difference to how young people leave care and move into their own homes.

The reason I became a rep is because I’ve always been passionate about young peoples rights and equality for young people!
