Have you heard about the Care Leaver Covenant?

The Covenant works with small and large businesses, public services like the NHS and voluntary organisations to publish offers and opportunities specifically for care leavers.

Sign up to Connects, the platform where all these offers are published and shared with you. Remember, you will be entered into regular giveaways to win prizes and experiences.

What does this mean I hear you say – well, in a nutshell, it gives you many exciting opportunities to apply for employment and work placements and internships with big businesses, government departments, museums, theatres, or Premier League football clubs, as well as training workshops or life skills coaching.

Also, organisations big and small want to support you to live independently. Depending on where you live support can include opportunities for:

• discounted utility bills
• resources and tools from Barclays Life Skills to help you manage your money. Or Metro Bank supporting you to open a bank account
• support to move into your first home with furniture and decorating
• universities will provide financial support and accommodation 365 days a year alongside opportunities to earn whilst you learn
• regular giveaways from businesses like Amazon
• opportunities to try new experiences with organisations like Nike and Premier League Football Clubs.

There is also a growing network of local businesses and organisations pledging their support to the Care Leaver Covenant.

Sign up to Connects, the platform where all these offers are published and shared with you. Remember, you will be entered into regular giveaways to win prizes and experiences.
