Greater Manchester House Project: 'Festive Food Bank'
23rd December 2022
The Greater Manchester House Project have come together to create a 'Festive Food Bank' with extra special thanks to Chris and Angela from Asda Superstore in Hulme for their very kind donations! Creating this food bank with the support received from donations has enabled us to support our young people during the Christmas period, by providing food parcels and in turn alleviated some of the financial stresses our young people are experiencing during this cost-of-living crisis.

CYPNow - NHP Supports Care Leaver Apprentices
The National House Project (NHP) has been hosting apprentices since 2021. The organisation, which was incorporated as a charity in 2018, works with local authorities that have set up their own Local House Project (LHP), a scheme that helps young people leave care in a planned and supported way. Young people, both in and leaving care, are brought together in groups to create their first homes, learn new skills and join a long-term community of support that can develop pathways into education, employment and training. With 17 LHPs established across England, involving more than 700 young people, around half of these local projects provide apprenticeships as part of their offer, explains Sue Hammersley, director of NHP. There have been three young people so far that have undertaken an apprenticeship with NHP. Hammersley says all apprenticeships offered at NHP and across the LHPs are business administrative roles, although one project in Oxford has offered a participation apprenticeship after linking in with a local college.
