Situation
Christmas can be especially tough for young care leavers, who lack the family support most take for granted. Managing independence alone, they often face loneliness, depression, and financial struggles. Festive reminders of family gatherings and gifts intensify their isolation and anxiety.
Solution
We provide ongoing mentorship and supper clubs throughout the year to ensure that these young people have consistent guidance and support as they navigate the challenges of transitioning out of care Volunteer mentors serve as positive role models, helping them build skills and confidence. These Christmas gift vouchers will not only provide practical assistance with purchasing necessities or treats but also send a powerful message that they're not alone and are cared for.
