Safe With Me — 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.

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.

What we're working on

What we're building

Our first funding is secured for Never Alone Boxes, and preparation for the first delivery is underway. Our other programmes remain in development and depend on further funding and partnerships. Each programme below carries a clear status.

Never Alone Boxes

Thoughtful boxes for the moments when someone should know they were remembered.

We've secured our first funding to bring Never Alone boxes to life. We're preparing our first delivery for care-experienced young people and care leavers, with thoughtful items and a personal message to remind each person that someone thought about 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

Supported by Camden Giving through the We Make Camden Kit. Delivery details and ways to get involved will be shared as the project develops.

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

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.

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.

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

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