CLNM: Celebrating Success
Posted 20th October 2022
It was great to attend the CLNM conference for the first time as the Greater Manchester Collaboration. We were well represented by our ‘GM bee’ theme, setting up our joint identity and pride of our shared project. Although all of the GM projects are different, we have added strength in our wider team since coming together from July of this year. .jpg)
All of the hard work came from our team leaders and facilitators, together with help from our Manchester CLMN reps, Dean and Olivia. They worked the crowd in room, (and everywhere else) and helped us get the numbers to win best stall. It’s going to be an amazing example for the new CLNM reps that we will be electing from our new cohort from Trafford and Manchester combined House Project.
If this is what we can do in our first few months – think where we are going to be when we have 15 new young people in the cohort next year! Great effort from Rachelann, Josh, Adi and Jess and the wider team from GM. Bee Positive!

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.

Not only did they address the conference but they got to hear from Local House Project staff and young people on how they are working together to improve the way in which young people leave care and how this meets the commitments made in The Promise in 2020.
