New home day for Darren

Posted 9th March 2023

Darren from our Cohort 2 and enthusiastic CLMN rep has finally got his forever home. He is delighted with his flat and has been reflecting on just how far he has come since joining Midlothian House Project in 2021 and all the brilliant experiences he has had particularly with CLMN and Senses of Home . He is in store for a busy few weeks ahead planning and organising but we are all here to help and are all super excited for him here at Midlothian house project and we know all his friends at CLMN will be too. He has lots of photos and exciting plans to share when he attends the North regional CLMN meeting at Fife House Project this Saturday.

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.
