NYAS, alongside the Together Trust and #KeepCaringto18 Steering Group remain committed to the principle that all children living in supported accommodation are still children and have the right to receive care and live in safe environments.


Our govt still has no strong mandate to hearing the voices of care experienced young people..NYAS (National Youth Advocacy Service) has a strong ambition to change this..looking forward to a week of discussions with our amazing trustees; and meeting both new/existing partners to collaborate for change...

Today, NYAS was joined by Fatima Whitbread to discuss Fatima's Campaign which aims to amplify the voices of care-experienced young people across the country. NYAS shares this ambition and is committed to making it a reality. Learn more about the campaign: bit.ly/47pHqrg


Championing the voices and experiences of private renters is crucial. However, the voices of care leavers are often overlooked in this debate. Today, Generation Rent gave evidence in parliament on our joint call for councils to act as guarantors for care leavers renting a new home.



Hoping all political parties are listening to what matters to young people and what they feel needs change...let's keep the momentum going and place pressure on those in power to deliver on the 33 ambitions #TheBigAmbition Children's Commissioner for England

Like the idea of skipping...some great motivational events in the coming year...have some fun as a team or by yourself at the same time as fundraising for NYAS (National Youth Advocacy Service) who works tirelessly to amplify the voices of children in care and adults in vulnerable situations #Motivation
