Looked after & Leaving Care Transition Project

Cumbria Youth Alliance help young care leavers age 15 - 24 with their transition into living alone. We at CYA help young care leavers understand what they are entitled to and where to turn for help. CYA help to:

• Individually tailor support for young people leaving care
• Create holistic action plans to progress and address any barriers
• Individually tailor support for young people leaving care
• Support young people with education/employment transition
• Provide links to appropriate specialist agencies
• Support young people with independent living skills
• Support young people with raising aspirations
