NHP appoints Jamie Roberts to Board of Trustees

10th July 2023

NHP is delighted to announce the appointment of Jamie Roberts as a Trustee, joining the six-member strong Board of Trustees and a wider team of supporting staff. NHP is a progressive and innovative charity, set up in 2018 to help address the unjust and poor outcomes many young people face after leaving the care system without the necessary support and guidance. Working with local councils and businesses, NHP runs multiple projects for young care leavers across the UK to help develop a sense of community, fulfilment, and interdependence.

A message from our CEO July 2023

7th July 2023

When NHP was incorporated as a charity 5 years ago next month we were a merry band of three who had just moved out of our respective kitchens (that were doubling as offices!) with budget for a further 18 months. Next month we celebrate our 5th birthday and we marked the occasion at a party last week at Freight Island in Manchester. It was a fantastic event in the glorious Mancunian sunshine and was enjoyed by 200 young people, staff, consultants, partners and fundraisers from across the UK.

NHP is thrilled to have received two grants to support the work of the charity. The Nationwide Foundation and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation have provided generous support to NHP recognising the organisation's ambition to support young people leaving care to live connected and fulfilling lives. The Nationwide Building Society, renowned for its commitment to everyone in the UK having access to a decent home they can afford, has awarded NHP £46,100 over 2 years towards a Young People's Participation and Development Worker.
