Objectives

We want care experienced people to live in a world where:

  • At our home away from home, they do not feel isolated.
  • With opportunity and support, they can achieve their goals.
  • In a society full of stigma, they can break it down with their tenacity and potential

Activities

The charity’s goal is to provide YOU as a person with care experience, a space and people to turn to at times of celebration, periods of growth, loneliness or crisis. A charity founded on building a place to inspire, gain support and build a network of supporters. With a drive to give you encouragement when transitioning from one stage to another, finding inspiration, creating your own aspirations and learning from one another’s journeys.

We eat together, we train together, we learn together, we remain determined.

We’ve learnt over the years that gathering at the table is a main recurring positive theme: the centrality of food and eating together provides a unique experience to learn both cooking skills and to have a socialising experience. With our installed kitchen and café accessible to members,

The HUB ….. A Home-Away-From-Home is here to provide a safe space for you that offers a welcoming, warm, openminded environment, reducing isolation, and to provide activities and learning opportunities

With lived experienced members we understand connection and support is key to providing a reduction in the sense of isolation for you and friends and instead increased shared experience where you can meet likeminded people with aspirations for the now and future. Providing a weekend afternoon community with a sense of learning purpose, and a safe space where you can meet other people and grow your network

Our vision is of a long-term connection to each of you who we work with over the years. We want you to use your involvement with us to build whatever it is you need to succeed.
