As your corporate parent we have high ambitions for you and make it our priority to

  • support you into a job that is good for you;

  • an academic option such as a university course; or

  • an apprenticeship or a training course. 

We believe that every care leaver can and should be able to work or study.

We want to make sure every young person leaving care has the support they need to achieve their goals and ambitions in life.
