Care Leavers National Movement (CLNM) have done it again.

Posted 20th October 2023

CLNM have worked hard for the last year and have pulled another amazing experience out the bag for everyone who attended. It was brilliant to hear about the young people's journey's, celebrating their successes, hearing young people’s opinions/ideas and promoting wellbeing.

Midlothian young people pushed themselves out their comfort zones by supporting staff with their wellbeing stall. Our North Regional Champion had an emotional time, as they had to step to the side and allow one of their peers to step in and have a chance at this amazing opportunity. And one of the co-creators of Senses of Home from Midlothian, was unable to attend and celebrate with their peers, next year.

Thank you all for an amazing day and making memories with our national community.

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.
