500 young people living in their own homes
3rd December 2024
500 young people leaving care from LHPs across the UK have been supported to move into their first home and are living 'connected and fulfilling’ lives. It may have taken 7 years to support the first 500 young people into their first home, but we are expecting the next 500 young people to move in to their own homes by August 2026!

Aspirational Awards Update
In May, the Aspirational Awards panel awarded just over £15,000 to 19 young people across our LHPs. It was inspiring to see such a wide range of ideas, goals and determination reflected in the applications, and a privilege to support more young people as they take their next steps forward. Funding in Round 9 supported training + graduate employment scheme, equipment for a baking business and support for other businesses, sports sessions, music lessons, lifeguard course, and day trips. We have also recently completed a 3 year review of our Aspirational Awards and the impact they’ve had. Over the past 3 years, we’ve awarded over £147,000 to 138 young people (not including figures from our most recent round in May). If you would like to find out more about how to support the Aspirational Awards please get in touch.
