Supported Lodgings and Host Carers

Would you be willing to offer space in your home and life to provide a stepping stone to a young person aged 16 and over? Could you offer a young person a safe and supportive environment where they can begin to prepare for adult life?

Kinship care

When a child or young person cannot live with their birth parents, the preferred option is for them to live within their wider family and community circle. In its broadest sense this is known as Kinship Care.
