Research undertaken through the CUSPE Policy Challenges programme highlighted the barriers faced by young people leaving care when transitioning to independent living. As a consequence of this work, this scholarship programme has been created this year to enable young people leaving care to contribute directly to local government policy.
The Scholarship will provide necessities – such as money for a day bus fare, lunch and dinner, and a work and interview outfit – so that the young people can carry out their internship at CCC.
Funds are being raised by selling CUSPE merchandise, with 100% of the proceeds going towards the CUSPE Scholarship.
