LenLey Family
Our Aims
Our aim is to provide a warm, safe, nurturing and caring environment for care leavers who are leaving residential or foster care for semi-independence. LenLey Housing will support, teach, guide and encourage each young person who becomes a part of the LenLey Family to grow and develop making sure they are ready and confident to live independently.
We aim to provide transitional care services to support young care leavers to pursue education, employment or training opportunities and develop core life skills
We aim to equip our young people with the knowledge, skill set and ability to take as much control of their lives independently as possible, thereby enabling each young person to grow, thrive and reach their full potential. Young people are encouraged to be involved in decision-making regarding their lives and are given a level of responsibility - for example with their keys, personal allowance, food shopping, bedroom decoration etc.
