Supporting projects
There are always child friendly projects happening across the county that would benefit from your support, either through sponsorship or donations. Sponsoring a project or donating items, gifts, equipment, or your time could help us deliver ‘real’ opportunities and positive change for children and young people.
Children's Homes
Help us celebrate Warwickshire's first children's home for children in care!
The home is the first of a number of residences planned across the county that aim to ensure that the children who live there can be safe, skilled, heard, healthy, and most importantly, happy!
It will mean fewer children will have to move away from their friends and family when placed in care. By introducing children’s homes in the county, and having more local and alternative provision, we can improve the outcomes for our children in care.

Warwickshire House Project
Warwickshire House Project is a Local House Project (LHP). House Projects support young people leaving care to create their own homes and live connected and fulfilling lives.
House Projects are co-designed with young people. They work together to develop relationships and learn skills that enable them to live successful adult lives. They have a choice in where they live and are involved in getting their property ready to become their home.
Warwickshire House Project is represented by young people at the Care Leavers National Movement (CLNM) to ensure that a young person’s voice is at the heart of all decision making. They are joined by representatives from all other LHPs.
