Our care leavers local offer has been created to tell you about all the support you can receive from the leaving care team as you get older.

We know that the process of leaving care and transitioning to adult life can be a challenging and confusing time.

Our Leaving Care team are there for you as your guide, your support, your advocate and a friendly face to share your worries and successes with. We will help you build a community of relationships who will support you when you need it. 

The Hub is our base for care leavers and your care leavers team. Opening hours are Monday to Wednesday, 8:30am till 5pm, Thursday, 8:30am till 4:30pm, and Friday, 8:30am till 4pm. Your hub is located at Ashton Old Library, Old Street, Ashton-under- Lyne, OL6 7SG.
