Life skills for care leavers, taught in small groups
A practical six-week programme that gives young people a simple system to run their lives, and the confidence to use it.
What we do
Help young people leaving care take charge of their lives
Brightline Youth Support helps care leavers build the skills to run their own lives. Our six-week Life Skills Programme gives small groups of 4 to 6 young people a simple system for structure, time and money. They then put it to work on self-care, running a home, and education and work. We partner with care providers and local authorities.
Six sessions: One system for life
1. Structure
Build a simple routine that holds everything together.
3. Budgeting
Budget, save and stay on top of bills.
5. Your home
Run a home and keep a tenancy.
2. Time
Plan the week and stop running late.
4. Self-care
Look after your body, mind and personal hygiene.
6. Your future
Take the next step into education, training or work.
Why it works
Small groups
Hands-on
Builds week by week
Just 4 to 6 young people, so everyone gets attention and nobody gets lost.
Every session is practical. Young people leave with a task to try that week.
Each session starts by checking in on last week’s task, so the skills stick.
Our first programme starts on 4th November 2026
We’re running weekly sessions on Wednesday evenings from 4 November to 9 December 2026. Get in touch to find out about places, or to bring the programme to your young people.
