Seeking hosts in East Dulwich for Barnardo's Supported Lodgings service

[Barnardos Triangle]

Can you help a young person leaving care take the next step? We're asking people who live in East Dulwich to consider joining Barnardo?s new London Supported Lodgings Service.

Young people leaving care are amongst the most vulnerable groups in society, sometimes lacking the life experience to find safe accommodation and begin living independently.

Barnardo?s, the UK?s leading children?s charity, is looking for people living in and around Lambeth, Southwark and Croydon who can offer support and lodgings to a vulnerable young person at a crucial time in their life. They may need support with things like finishing their education, finding longer-term accommodation and help to develop life skills such as cooking, housework and budgeting ? from anywhere between eight weeks and two years.

How does it work?

Barnardo?s give hosts weekly payments, ongoing support, training and guidance throughout the assessment process. We want to hear from anyone that has a spare room and the time and desire to offer practical and emotional support to a young person.
