Another successful Care Day

Posted 19th February 2024

Friday 16th February was National Care Day, Ashleigh from CHAMPS organised for 50 care experienced children and young people to have a fun afternoon at a local trampoline park. This event was full attendances on the day it was so much fun for all of the participants. Due to the limited spaces, not all of Midlothian House Project community members could be invited, however here are two MHP members casually exploring the trampoline park and having fun doing so.

Permission was given to use this photo, but asked for their faces to be hidden.

CYPNow - NHP Supports Care Leaver Apprentices

The National House Project (NHP) has been hosting apprentices since 2021. The organisation, which was incorporated as a charity in 2018, works with local authorities that have set up their own Local House Project (LHP), a scheme that helps young people leave care in a planned and supported way. Young people, both in and leaving care, are brought together in groups to create their first homes, learn new skills and join a long-term community of support that can develop pathways into education, employment and training. With 17 LHPs established across England, involving more than 700 young people, around half of these local projects provide apprenticeships as part of their offer, explains Sue Hammersley, director of NHP. There have been three young people so far that have undertaken an apprenticeship with NHP. Hammersley says all apprenticeships offered at NHP and across the LHPs are business administrative roles, although one project in Oxford has offered a participation apprenticeship after linking in with a local college.
