Quotes from Young people on the project

I earned myself a house, some friends, invaluable experiences, a role at the CLNM and a place at university
HP staff are more like friends to me, although still very professional. I call this professional friendship

HP has given me the chance to make a difference and build a community

My biggest worry was about managing money, they prepared me well for this
Being in a community means we are NOT ALONE, we are stronger as a team
They have helped me realise who I am as a person

Young people at the heart of decision making

Their collective views and ideas drive the development of all House Projects through the Care Leavers National Movement. They meet on a regular basis to share good practice, talk about and find solutions to any challenges they are facing and to suggest new ways of doing things. They work hard, have fun and their views make a real difference to how young people leave care and move into their own homes.

I wanted to join to help care leavers in Stoke get their voice heard and hopefully make things better for the future generation
