Support for young people leaving care

We sup­port young people leav­ing foster care (foster fam­il­ies, res­id­en­tial care in­sti­tu­tions) on their way to an in­de­pend­ent adult life. We offer help to every­one who con­tacts us – with no pre­con­di­tions.

En­ter­ing adult­hood after years spent in foster care brings many chal­lenges at once: pa­per­work, fin­ances, hous­ing and work. We try to be a point of sup­port during this period, of­fer­ing spe­cific, prac­tical help rather than just good advice.

Who it is for

• ✓Young people who are leav­ing or have left foster care and are start­ing an in­de­pend­ent life
• ✓People look­ing for a guard­ian or mentor to sup­port their trans­ition to in­de­pend­ence

What our support involves

• ✓Con­tact and a first con­ver­sa­tion – for every­one leav­ing foster care who con­tacts the Found­a­tion, whatever stage they are at
• ✓Guard­ian and ment­or­ing sup­port – help with every­day mat­ters re­lated to be­com­ing in­de­pend­ent: of­fi­cial pa­per­work, budget plan­ning, look­ing for work or hous­ing
• ✓Be­com­ing a guard­ian or mentor – for people who want to sup­port a spe­cific young person through this pro­cess
