who needs supported lodgings?
This includes young people leaving care, young refugees or unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC), and those entering care at 16+ who may not feel ready for a family environment but still need support. These young people are guided in building essential skills for adulthood while staying connected to their community.
providing a home, changing a life
As a Supported Lodgings host, you won’t just be providing a roof over someone’s head—you’ll be helping them develop confidence, resilience, and practical life skills for their future.
Supported Lodgings is a great way to get started in caring, which fits with your availability alongside your other commitments.
