Visit to Cohort 3!

Posted 12th March 2024

We went to see Hussein first and what a delight, he greeted us with the biggest smile in his property with Guinness and a table of lovely fruit to welcome us in. Rachelann and Josh have never seen a tv so big in a young person's flat but he had a 70inch tv which he saved up for himself as we told him we couldn't give him £800 from his FHG to purchase this. However, Hussein was patient and he saved and got it put in his wall and it looks great. Hussein had his flat immaculate and everything well presented. He was very proud of his property and he had everything, in the right place which was right for him. 

 

We then went onto to see Abduallah who was settled in his property in Stretford and this was in such a lovely and quiet location and so perfect for him as this really suited his nature. He had everything he needed and even had a photographer from Irwell Valley who took pictures of him in his own home and she will be writing an article of the success of a House Project young person in their properties. Well done Abduallah for making your property a home. 

 

Our last stop was Daniel who is in a MSV property in the Sale area and his flat was so cute and set back in a lovely location. Daniel had a notice on his door which said; "Take your shoes off please" i commented and said that just shows how much respect you have for your home. Again Daniel had these lovely covers over his fancy leather sofa which he has taken a lot of pride in. It is so lovely and welcoming to see the lads settled in their home and showing their independence successfully. I feel like our little chicken's have left the next and are all now in their homes. Its lovely to see their transition but sad to see they don't need us as much.

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.

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.
