CYPNow Leaving Care Award Finalist 2019

Posted 11th September 2019

We are absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for the Leaving Care category of the @cypnow awards. There has been lots of hard work to date, much more to do, but a big shout out to project staff and more importantly to the young people who have risen to the challenge and made it the success it is!

The Leaving Care Award:

‘For the initiative that has done the most to help young people leaving the care system make a smooth and successful transition to adulthood by supporting their accommodation, health, housing, and training and employment needs. Judges will be looking for examples where young people have played a key role in planning their independent living.’

Congratulations and good luck to all the finalists!
