Leaving home is a challenge for everyone, but young people leaving care often do so without the support of a loving family.
The Positive Futures Appeal is an ambitious, three year multimillion-pound fundraising campaign to provide safe places that young people can call home, create meaningful employment and training opportunities to kick-start their career, and give them someone to turn to when things get tough.
In line with our Corporate Strategy, the Positive Futures Appeal will have three main focus areas:
- Someone to turn to when things get tough - this includes our care leaver services; core priority programmes (including Triangles and Care Journey services) and digital support through the Journey app.
- A safe and stable place to call home - this includes our Gap Homes initiative, Building Hope House Supported Lodgings and our other accommodation services.
- Meaningful employment and training opportunities - this includes our Employment Training and Skills (ETS) services and our Academies Route to employment through Care leaver experiences.
We would dearly love to have a conversation with you about raising funds for the Positive Futures Appeal and how you can play a significant part in helping us make a long lasting change for disadvantaged young people leaving care.
