Most people get to grow into adulthood slowly.
For a lot of young people leaving care, it arrives all at once at 18. First tenancy, first food shop on a real budget, first time working out which bill is which, and far less to fall back on.
Sky News reported this week that care leavers are dying at an estimated three to four times the rate of other young people their age, and that 18 is the age where more of those deaths happen than any other.
Moving On is built for that moment. Five practical areas of independent living: building a home, being healthy, managing money, starting your career and relating to people.
No exams and no deadlines, with a trusted adult alongside you the whole way. It won’t fix what that report describes. But no young person should reach 18 and have to work all of this out on their own.
