Nottingham City Council has allocated an additional £300,000 to support care leavers.
This funding establishes the Care Leaver Grant Fund, designed to offer practical financial assistance and opportunities for young individuals transitioning into adulthood. The program will specifically target care leavers aged 18 to 25.
The fund is scheduled to operate over a two-year period, commencing in 2027. Nottingham City Council is collaborating with The King's Trust on this important project.
This grant is part of a wider initiative that includes over £20 million in funding, stemming from an underspend in the council's 2025-26 budget. Council officials highlighted the challenges faced by care leavers in education, employment, housing, and financial security.
