Peterborough House Project Launch
Posted 29th January 2025
Peterborough City Council is the first authority in the East of England to launch its very own House Project located at Chauffeurs Cottage in St. Peter’s Road. It was officially opened at a special ceremony held on 28 January, attended by dignitaries and care leavers.
Councillor Katy Cole, cabinet member for children’s services, said: "Children in care deserve the same opportunities as any other child, and addressing this is vitally important to us. Like all good parents, the council wants to give young people the very best chance in life, and I'm delighted that we are opening this unique facility which is already being run successfully in other areas....
“We are fully committed to improving the experiences, outcomes, and lives of young people leaving care. These young people will benefit from not only gaining vital life skills but also the sense of community and support of their peer group, giving them the opportunity to succeed and achieve in their lives."
"The House Project is an amazing way to support my needs as a young person preparing to leave care. I’ll be gaining skills, building friendships with other care leavers and increase my confidence to live independently."
