Moving somewhere new can feel scary, exciting, or just really weird. That’s completely okay. This page will help you find out more about Young Care Hub; who we are, what we do, and what life here is really like.
Before you arrive, it can help to know who you’ll be spending time with. Here’s a little bit about some of the people at Young Care Hub.
"Hi, I'm Michael! When I was 15, I had to leave school because I was struggling with my mental health. That's why I care so much about helping young people now. Everyone deserves to feel understood and get the help they need."
"Hi, I'm Amy! I've been working with children and young people for over 20 years. I really care about making sure young people feel happy, listened to, and supported."
"Hi, I'm Elaine! I've worked in care for nearly 30 years. For me, care isn't just a job — it's a big part of who I am. I'm really passionate about making sure everyone feels supported."
"Hi, I'm Bianca! I love helping young people see how amazing they are. I always try to be calm, kind, and understanding — it's all about building trust and helping you feel confident."
"Hi, I'm Pete! I've been working with children and young people for over 25 years. I want every young person to feel safe, supported, and able to reach their full potential."
You can put up posters, keep your things how you like them, and make it feel like your own space. The rest of the house is shared — the kitchen, the living room, the garden. We cook together, eat together, and spend time together. But you'll also have plenty of time to yourself when you need it.
We try to make life here as normal as possible. There'll be days out, trips, movie nights, takeaways, and lazy Sundays. Because that's what home is supposed to feel like.
We like to keep things predictable; not boring, just consistent. Knowing what’s happening next helps a lot of people feel safe.
Every home has some rules, and ours are pretty simple. They’re not about being strict, they’re about making sure everyone feels safe and respected.
Staff, other young people, and yourself.
When you need it, that's what we're here for.
It's your space too. Treat it like it.
Seriously, this is important to us.
If something is wrong, if you’re worried, or if you just need someone to listen — there is always someone you can talk to. Day or night. Your key worker is your main point of contact, but honestly, any member of staff is there for you. You don’t have to wait for the ‘right time’ or the ‘right person’. Just talk to whoever you feel comfortable with.
Life here isn’t just about school and bedtime. There’s loads of stuff to do!
