Manchester & Trafford House Project Say Thankyou For The Donations!
Posted 7th March 2023
As you know the team loves a great bargain and are always asking thoughs who they know and orgnaisations/businesses around them to support the Manchester and Trafford House Project. This week we have received kind donations for our young people to put in our base. Part of the house project is having a base, and somethere which is like a second home and we strongly feel it should be a place where young people can relax, drop in when they like and also have fun. We rely heavily on donations to make the base a fun place to be for our project and making sure its welcoming to every young person passing through our doors.
We would like to thank Julie from Beswick for kindly donating a pool table for our young people and also the Cringlewood social club for donating pool cues, balls and a darts board. It is truly appreciated by all staff and young people at the Manchester & Trafford house project.

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.
