Cross-borough property move-ins from Manchester to Trafford

Cross-borough property move-ins from Manchester to Trafford

Posted 5th December 2023

December is set to be an incredibly exciting and busy month for the Manchester and Trafford House Project team as it consists of supporting 3 property sign-ups and arranging move-ins for 3 incredible young people on the current cohort of the Manchester and Trafford House Project.

The fantastic collaboration between Manchester and Trafford enabled 3 young people from Manchester to find their dream homes in the Trafford borough as they signed and accepted a gorgeous new-build property! Our young people were eager to put their key in their door to unlock a world of new possibilities, living independently for the very first time and having a safe space to call home, where they can feel comfortable and create their own sanctuary.

This opportunity has been delightful for our local house project to develop a relationship with a housing provider whom we haven't worked with before and we are overjoyed to be adopting a collaborative working approach, supporting our young people into their own homes and making this possible.

Here at the Manchester and Trafford House Project, we are extremely proud of all that our young people have and continue to achieve and we would like to extend our gratitude to all housing providers and everyone involved in supporting us and most importantly, our wonderful young people.

CYPNow - NHP Supports Care Leaver Apprentices
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.

We were delighted to be joined by Natalie Don, The Minister for Children, Young People and Keeping the Promise, Fraser McKinlay, CEO of The Promise Scotland and Heather Coady, an Independent Consultant, who share a passion and commitment to changing the system for people in, and leaving, care in Scotland. 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.
