As an anchor institution in our locality, Black Country Housing Group (BCHG) has a role in shaping the places in which people live and to improve residents’ quality of life. BCHG is proud of the work we do to support care experienced young people and we are thrilled to launch our Foundations for Life programme working with partners across the region to improve opportunities for young people.
Thank you to the National Lottery who have awarded £370,727 funding for this programme. This vital funding comes from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest community funder in the UK.
“Thanks to National Lottery players, we can build on the work of our Care to Mentor project, which supported care experienced young people make lasting life changes. By working with supported housing providers across the region we will extend our reach in providing opportunities and support, to empower young people to achieve their full potential.”
The three-year Foundations for Life project is expected to benefit hundreds of young people across the Black Country, providing them with the tools and confidence needed to thrive independently. The initiative reflects the National Lottery’s commitment to creating positive, lasting change in communities.
“We are thrilled to receive this support from the National Lottery Community Fund to continue making a positive impact for care experienced young people across the region. Black Country Housing Group will develop a community of practice to support housing providers and stakeholders to champion young people and empower them through skills access and opportunities’’.
“Foundations for Life is about working in partnership with young people and stakeholders to build support and opportunities through co-design in an equitable way. We are excited to work with our partners to achieve more for young people”.
