Platinum Living Care work closely with local council leaving care teams, Family Intervention Projects, probation services, local charities, community groups and support groups, and larger charities such as the Princes Trust.  
Although the backgrounds and situations of our young clients can be very different, a great many of the challenges they face are similar; these include:

•    poor educational outcomes
•    inadequate support mechanisms
•    low aspirations / lack of motivation
•    low self-esteem / lack of confidence   

 

With a focus on building confidence and aspirations, we support young people to find volunteer / Employment opportunities that are enjoyable - where they can make new friends as well as learn new skills.
Clients are provided with one-to-one support to address real and perceived barriers to volunteering/employment.  In addition to confidence building and mentoring support, this may include help with CVs and interview techniques. 
Each young person referred to us receives ongoing support that is tailored to their own needs, for as long as they wish to consider and continue to access the community with various activities.
