MCR House Project chooses CLNM representatives!

Posted 2nd February 2022

We’ve had a great week so far at the MCR House Project! On Tuesday we came together with three young people from Cohort 2, alongside Rosie Blackett and Becky Reynolds from National House Project in the Exchange building in Manchester to discuss inducting two young peoplee into the CLNM (Care Leaver’s National Movement).

This is a really great opportunity for young people to really have their say in the structures that affect them and represent their peers positively. Two young people decided to sign up and will attend The National House Project Conference on Friday 4th March 2022 at the Mercure Hotel with us.

Also, as we have new staff, we decided to do a bit of an interactive ‘guess who’ icebreaker so that the young people attending could get to know their Facilitators (old and new) a little better!
