Care leavers and Care Leavers Hub

Information about care leavers and the Care Leavers Hub

A care leaver ‘drop-in’ is available most Wednesdays at the Care Leavers Hub in Greengate Street in Barrow-in-Furness with Participation Workers, Joanne and Sarah.  

This gives care experienced young people aged 16+ the opportunity to feedback on services: celebrating successes and raising concerns.  

If you would like to find out more or join in with activities then please email rightsandparticipation.waf@westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk and one of our workers (Joanne or Sarah) will get back in touch with you.

Monday 24th November saw the launch of our new Care Leaver Hub. [A presentation is in the process of being written and when completed can be displayed here].  

Current events:

Start 2026 with a ‘Soups and Smoothies’ making session and meet with other young people and our workers. The care leaver offer is not a static offer and we will be adding new activities each month.

2025 events:

Launch of Passport to Leisure – Free Gym Memberships for eligible care leavers.
