Overview of Go-Forward:

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small charity at a time of big growth. Go-Forward Youth was founded by care leavers to provide support to care experienced young people as they transition to adulthood and independence. Our core aim is to reduce social isolation and improve outcomes for young adults who have recently left the care system by offering a place for them to turn in moments of loneliness, crisis and celebration, and offering programmes that support them to develop the skills required for living independently. Our long-term vision is to combat the stigma that surrounds care leaving so that care leavers feel supported and empowered to achieve their ambitions without barriers to access.
