Semi-independent LIVING

Support for care leavers' transition and life skills

Our semi-independent housing is more than just a place to live. They bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood, preparing children for the challenges of living independently.

Some young people have experienced leaving care as ‘the instant expectation of adulthood’. All of a sudden, they are assumed  to know how to cook for themselves, run a household, and manage their finances, all at once and without support.

This is why spending 16+ weeks at home prior to actually leaving care can be extremely beneficial. We provide secure, comfortable homes for care leavers, homeless teenagers, and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children to learn the life skills they will need to transition to independent living.

The type of accommodation we provide varies according to the age of the young person. Staff will always support young people in working towards their goals and building their confidence for the future, regardless of which of our services they live in.

Our aftercare team provides advice and support to care leavers in south London as they work towards independence. Their drop-in service is open to any young person seeking advice from staff on issues such as managing tenancies, drug and alcohol awareness, or finding work.

Our semi-independent services are available in West London and South London
