SAFE WITH MESafe With Me UK — home

In care or after care, you shouldn't have to face it alone.

Safe With Me is being built from lived experience, with care-experienced young people and adults at its heart.

Care-experienced young people and adults across the UK

Safety

Human support from people who understand the care system from the inside.

Community

Non-judgemental community spaces for care-experienced young people and adults, where nobody has to explain their background before they belong.

Opportunity

Practical support with the things that shape everyday life — including money, housing, food and education — alongside opportunities to explore music, creativity and events as Safe With Me grows.

Five ideas we're developing

What we're building

Nothing here is finished, and we won't pretend otherwise. Every programme below carries an honest status so you always know what exists today and what depends on funding.

01In development

Reasons to Stay

A collection of reminders, messages and moments shared by care-experienced people and the wider community — for the days when life feels especially heavy.

Short notes written by people who may understand some of what you're facing. Nothing clinical, nothing preachy. Just honest words you can return to when you need them.

  • Notes from care-experienced people and allies
  • Reviewed by a person before anything is published
  • Themes like a hard day, future you, and small things

Safe With Me is not an emergency or crisis service and we don't monitor submissions 24/7. If you need urgent help, please contact emergency services or an appropriate professional support line.

Reach Out

Not sure where to start? Tell us what's going on and what kind of support you're looking for.

We may not always be able to solve the problem ourselves, but we'll do our best to help you understand your options or connect you with someone who can.

  • Advocacy
  • Education / University
  • Housing
  • Benefits & finances
  • Employment
  • Care-leaver rights
  • Emotional wellbeing / finding support
  • Something else

This service is in development. Nothing here is a guarantee of support yet — we'd rather be honest than over-promise.

03In development

Community

Weekly online spaces created with care-experienced people, not just for them.

Small, informal sessions shaped by the people who turn up. You can talk, or you can sit quietly with the camera off. Both are fine.

  • Moving into your first home
  • University without family support
  • Money after leaving care
  • Neurodiversity
  • Confidence
  • Starting a business
  • Cooking on a budget
  • Topics chosen by the community

The exact schedule and platform will be announced once sessions are ready to run.

04Launching subject to funding & partnerships

Not Alone

Christmas. Birthdays. Milestones. No one should feel forgotten.

A future programme built around the dates that quietly hurt the most when there's no one around to mark them.

  • Personalised birthday and Christmas packages
  • Meal or food vouchers
  • Practical gifts and essential clothing
  • Celebration notes and optional community contact
  • Recognition of milestones: graduation, a first home, starting university

Partners will eventually be able to sponsor individual birthdays, Christmas packages or milestone moments.

05In development — subject to funding

For You

Practical support for the things that can make an impossible month a little easier.

Targeted, dignified help with specific costs — designed with clear criteria rather than vague promises.

  • Food support
  • Essential clothing
  • Travel costs
  • Household essentials and appliances
  • Education costs
  • Emergency grants

For funders, partners and people who can help

Build this with us

Safe With Me is early, and that is exactly when the right support changes what it becomes. We're looking for founding partners, mentors and funding conversations.

  • Fund Safe With Me

    Core funding to move the organisation from plan to programme, with clear reporting from day one.

  • Become a Partner

    Local authorities, leaving-care teams, universities, charities and employers who work with care leavers.

  • Sponsor a Programme

    Back Not Alone or For You — eventually down to a single birthday, Christmas package or milestone.

  • Offer Your Skills

    Safeguarding, governance, fundraising, legal, finance, social work or lived-experience expertise.

  • Introduce Us to Someone

    Sometimes the most valuable thing you can give is one warm introduction to the right person.
