National House Project
NHP Annual report 2023-2024 is here!
Posted 10th October 2024
NHP was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in August 2018, with its main purpose being to support local authorities (LA) to set up and manage Local House Projects (LHPs) to enable young people to leave care in a planned and supported way.
In June we celebrated our fifth birthday in Manchester and whilst much has been achieved by the charity the greatest success has been the relational approach that has developed a real sense of community. This was evident at the party as 200 young people, staff, partners, consultants and funders reflected on the many successes, caught up with friends, made new connections and made memories together. NHP is a community in which everyone belongs.
We look forward to the future and as we scale, we remain committed to ensuring that the ‘house project spirit’ drives what we do, and that each young person is given the opportunity to belong to something that supports and enables them to succeed.
