On 21st April we welcomed poet, care-leaver and chancellor of Manchester University to help us launch our Youth Homelessness Research at St. Giles House Hotel Our research was developed and led by nine young people who had themselves experienced homelessness. With their experiences they obtained the experiences of others. We had an amazing evening hearing from Lemn, sharing our work and recognising the support we can offer to young people in transition.
Welcome to our new website!
This week we’re delivering one of our hugely engaging Tenancy & Independent Living Skills (TILS) courses on behalf of Children’s Services in King’s Lynn. For all the amazingness of meeting Lemn Sissay for our research launch last week, nothing really beats what we’re really about – supporting young people in transition. These seven young people, all on the cusp of moving to independence for the first time, are absorbing so much during this course. Again and again we hear the refrain ‘Why am I only learning this now? Why didn’t we do this in school?’. Why indeed.
