Supported Lodgings Hosts provide accommodation for young people aged 16-21 who have lived in care and who are not quite ready to live independently. You will receive ongoing support, a weekly payment to contribute towards rent, food and utilities; an allocated social worker and training opportunities.
We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds, regardless of marital, employment or home ownership status. As long as you have a spare room and have time to give to a young person we would love to hear from you.
