Project Unity provides high-quality, rights-based advocacy and intensive support to care-experienced young mothers who are pregnant or have recently given birth, helping to empower young mothers, strengthen outcomes and prevent children from entering care.

Cluster one is based around London and cluster two around Yorkshire, with a third cluster area to be identified in year three.
