Your move, your dignity - our promise to you
My things matter
When you're moving to a new accommodation, we know how important your belongings are. These aren't just things - they're your memories, your history, and a part of who you are.
Our commitment to you
- proper luggage, every time: we'll provide you with suitable bags and luggage when you move. No bin bags, no makeshift solutions
- respect your belongings: we understand that your possessions matter. We'll work with you to handle your things carefully and considerately
- your voice matters: if there are ever concerns about items you're moving, we'll have an open conversation with you first
Being honest about challenging situations
We want to be clear and transparent. While we are committed to respecting your belongings, there might be rare circumstances where we need to make difficult decisions about items. If this ever happens:
- we will always explain why
- we will never make these decisions in secret
- we will involve you in the conversation as much as possible
- the safety and wellbeing of you and others will be our primary concern
These decisions will only be made if absolutely necessary and with full, open communication.
What this means for you
We're supporting the "my things matter" campaign because we believe care-experienced young people deserve dignity, respect, and support during transitions.
Your move. Your dignity. Your things matter.
