As part of our overall 16-20 year old provision, we are launching a new service which provides support for 16-18-year-olds who have left or are leaving foster care.

Our new specialised service will ensure the young people of the East Herts community will gain the skills they need to move forward towards greater levels of independence.

Working together with B3Living, our housing association delivery partner, a tailored living environment has been created. Colour, lightness and brightness is at the forefront throughout the design of the project with every bedroom, bathroom and kitchen being psychologically informed. We have created a safe space for these young people which is full of energising, vibrant and engaging greens and purples that have been purposely selected, shaping a creative and aspirational environment enabling our young people to grow.

Sitting at the heart of our Housing and Homelessness Services, specialised support teams provide guidance across a range of different key aspects to life including cooking; cleaning and managing their finances.

Starting to work in a town of East Herts, this project will continue to support even more young people as we introduce services wider across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire in the future.
