Make a Big Difference in a Young Person’s Life

Becoming a supported lodgings host provides an opportunity to make a significant impact on a young person’s life. Leaving care can be a daunting experience, and care experienced young people often enter adulthood without a support network. As a supported lodgings host, you become an essential part of a young person’s life, providing them with guidance, support, and a stable and nurturing environment. You can help them develop the essential life skills required to succeed in the world, such as budgeting and cooking, which can provide them with the confidence they need to lead fulfilling and independent lives.

“I am very grateful to have had the support of my host, they helped me so much when there have been many changes in my life, it is a very difficult time and I am grateful for support and a place to live while I do these things. I want to move to Liverpool to live in future, but I have learned so much here that will help me to live on my own.”

Supporting Care Experienced Young People

Many care experienced young people can benefit from the stability and support provided by a supported lodgings host. These young people have often experienced trauma, instability, and neglect in their past, which can make it challenging to navigate the world independently. Supported lodgings hosts provide a valuable support system for these young people, helping them to manage anxiety, build interpersonal relationships, and learn the skills they require to thrive. By providing this much-needed support, supported lodgings hosts can help care experienced young people build brighter futures.

Helping Young People Leaving Care

 “I would say to anyone thinking of becoming a supported lodgings provider, that now is the time to do it, my experiences from years ago have made me see the changes in the system, and the level of support we get now is really good. The service is real, and people speak to you like you’re a person and not just a number.”
