For The @theLDNstandard "Who's at your table" winter appeal - in partnership with @comicrelief - here is a short film of an interview between Rica and myself. Rica and I are care leavers and we are at @wearesettle . The article is written by David Cohen.

This year, every donation up to £250 made before Dec 16 will be match-funded by the Aviva Community Fund. That means double the support for care-experienced young people.
In the UK, 1 in 3 care-leavers face homelessness within two years of transitioning out of the care system. At Settle, we’re working hard to raise awareness of this appalling statistic, and to raise the funds we need to change this.
We support @Become1992's campaign calling on the Government to #EndTheCareCliff, prioritise social housing for young people leaving care and make sure they have the support they need every step of the way to make a positive start to adulthood. #NCLW
⛰️ As part of our #EndTheCareCliff campaign, our young campaigners were in Parliament with copies of our new report yesterday.

There is nothing inevitable about youth homelessness.
