Who can get support

To be able to get support, you must have been in care for at least 13 weeks or periods totalling 13 weeks which began after you turned 14 years old, and also included some time on or after your 16th birthday.

Our local offer is for Gateshead care leavers only. At the moment it does not apply to care leavers from other local authorities who are living in Gateshead. Each local area has their own local offer.

If you are not sure whether you qualify for support, visit Coram Voice or you can ask your Social Worker or Personal Advisor (PA).
