MCR HP attends Stop The Hate Conference!
Posted 28th February 2022
Manchester House Project attended the Stop The Hate Conference at Moss Side Powerhouse on 24.02.22. We put together a stall (including muffins!) and focused on spreading some of the work that we are doing.

This was an inspiring event, where the community, local charities and housing providers got together to discuss working together to stop hate crime in both Moss Side and Manchester as a whole. It was also a great opportunity for us to meet and network with other organisations operating in the Greater Manchester area.
We also have some really exciting news! We have been working from the Beehive in Crumpsall, but from this week onward we will be based (on a provisional basis, for a month) at the Millennium Powerhouse in Moss Side - so this was also an opportunity to see our new home! We're hoping that the more central location, mixed with all of the inspiring community events and activities taking place here will allow us to really improve and solidify our offer to the young people we're working with.
Thank you,
The MCR House Project Team

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.
