St Christopher’s is a charity with more than 150 years of experience caring for children and young people. It provides life-changing services and creates brighter futures for children and young people in care and leaving care, and those in fostering or on the edge of care. This year’s appeal highlights Tom’s story. When he left our care at 18, the thought of living alone was terrifying. Suddenly, the safety net he’d known for 4 years was gone, and he had no idea where to start. But with help, Tom didn’t have to figure it all out alone. From helping him learn how to manage his finances and pay bills, to offering emotional support during difficult days, we were there every step of the way – turning those moments of crisis into manageable challenges. Sometimes, all Tom needed was a phone call.

Each in turn helping to guide decisions and navigate challenges and opportunities within the sector on behalf of the charity they work with. For this month’s CEO’s blog were are therefore delighted to have a take-over by two such parties: Nigel from our Isle of Man Council – who has been a Trustee with St Christopher’s for a little over a year and Monique, who similarly has been with us 18 months and works with our UK arm. Both explain why they were drawn to the role and what inspires them to work for our cause… Click here to read the full article Member News: St Christopher’s support for Care Leavers and the importance of creating connections20/11/2024
![]() This month’s Blog is a take-over by our Head of Staying Close at St Christopher’s. We are proud to aptly highlight such work this National Care Leavers’ Week, as this year’s theme of ‘All of Us, We are One’ (as chosen by almost 200 care experienced people), highlights the value of creating lasting connections. So, what better time to talk about our Staying Close offering and all the innovation continuous support that has been under development during the last few months for the young people in our care. As many of you will know, Staying Close is a national programme funded by the Department Of Education (DofE), that aims to support Care Leavers at that crucial stage of their lives as they leap into the unknown and world of independence. Many Care Leavers have described this point in their lives as an actual ‘cliff edge’ where the common thread seems to be a considerable reduction of the support offer being available to them. Well, Staying Close came into the game to specifically bridge this gap some time back, by both providing packages of practical support and also by developing a shared culture within the professional networks where trusted and lasting relationships are instrumental in creating a safety net for Care Leavers at the time when they need it most.

Find out about how we have helped Michael, his inspirational story and ambitions that we wholeheartedly support. Click here to watch the video |
