Greater Manchester House Project Celebration

Greater Manchester House Project Celebration

Posted 1st February 2023

Today were celebrated the Greater Manchester Launch Event which took place at the Jigsaw Home building in Miles Platting. This event was also an opportunity to promote the success of the House Project and inform other professionals and staff about the great work we have been doing with the young people and how we have captured that and support those young people into their own property.

 

Another key part to this event was also a great time to communicate the effective work which has already been happening with some of our housing's providers, such as MSV and emphases to other housing providers that this collaboration of partnership working speaks for itself. MSV provides ongoing support for our young people and house them in beautiful homes that then become there forever home. This event was a great time to Network and really promote the House Project and sign-up other housing providers. 

 

At the event we got one of our new cohort young people Mya to perform her rap that she has written about her life and struggles she has experienced being in care. This was a really memorable moment and her presences and hearing her story spoke for itself. Everyone was very overwhelmed with Mya's performance, and this was a great platform for Mya to share with others her story. The confidence and experience Mya got from this was gleaming from her and she really made the Manchester and Trafford House Project proud.
