Helping Young People to Make the Bold Leap to Independence

No matter an individual’s upbringing or background, taking steps towards independence is always a challenge. At age 16 – 25, care leavers typically face this reality without the support and guidance of a family. For many of these young people, this daunting experience may feel like a hurdle too difficult to overcome.

Bold Leap’s services help young people to thrive,
offering support and guidance every step of the way.

Testimonial

I was a big fan of the Bold Leap placement that I moved a new LAC on 29/07/2021. The home was clean, smelt really good and felt like a warm family home. The key worker onsite was very helpful and great at settling in.

I should have taken more photos but wanted to share the attached as his bedroom – which just looks far more welcoming than other providers we use routinely. Plus, they had him a toiletry set all made up for him. Overall, just lovely 😊
