Turning 18 should be a milestone of independence — not a cliff-edge of support. We provide high-quality accommodation and trauma-informed outreach for care leavers and vulnerable young adults across London.
A portfolio of shared houses and self-contained flats across East London — all exceeding local authority housing standards and maintained to a high standard.
Dedicated keyworkers embedded in every young person's daily life — scaling from welfare checks to intensive crisis intervention based on individual need.
Every placement is driven by three measurable core outcomes: Sustainable Independence, EET Engagement, and Emotional Well-being.
At Uplift Supported Living, we exist for the young adults who have aged out of the care system and need a structured, supportive bridge into fully independent adult life. We understand their stories, their challenges, and their immense potential.
Our provision is specifically designed around the 18+ age group — a critical window where the right support can make the difference between a cycle of crisis and a truly independent future.
Every placement we deliver is driven by measurable progress towards three outcomes that equip each young adult with the skills, confidence, and resilience to succeed.
We teach the critical mechanics of independent living — ensuring young people can maintain safe, secure tenancies and manage their lives with confidence.
We actively break down barriers to economic independence, helping young people define and pursue their career aspirations through education, employment and training.
A successful transition requires emotional resilience. We prioritise physical and mental health so young people can navigate the complexities of adulthood safely and confidently.
"No one should have to spend life in survival mode — every young adult deserves a platform to truly thrive."— Uplift Supported Living
We exist to be the bridge that the care system cannot build a consistent, trusted presence in the lives of young adults as they take their first real steps into independence.
At Uplift Supported Living, we understand that turning 18 should be a milestone of independence — not a cliff-edge of support. Our 18+ Semi-Independent Outreach Provision is specifically designed to bridge the gap between the care system and full adult independence.
Operating primarily across London, we provide high-quality accommodation paired with targeted, trauma-informed outreach support. Our mission is to equip care leavers and vulnerable young adults with the practical skills, emotional resilience, and financial understanding required to sustain their own tenancies and thrive in the community.
"We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model. Our outreach provision is dynamic, scaling up during moments of crisis and stepping down as a young person's confidence and competence grow."
We work in close partnership with Local Authorities, Social Workers, and Personal Advisors to ensure every intervention aligns perfectly with the young adult's statutory Pathway Plan.
We understand the backgrounds of the young people we serve and let this shape every interaction, every decision.
We work alongside — not above — every young person, co-producing their journey to independence.
Every intervention is tied to measurable progress. We are accountable to outcomes, not just to processes.
We locate our properties within the communities young people already know, reducing disruption and promoting belonging.
Safety is non-negotiable. Our entire operation is built around robust safeguarding practices and risk management.
Support is embedded directly into the young person's daily life and scales dynamically according to their needs at any given moment.
We receive a referral from the placing Local Authority and conduct a thorough needs assessment to match the young person to the right property and support package.
A dedicated transitions manager supports the young person through move-in — making it as smooth, welcome, and structured as possible from day one.
Regular keywork sessions address the three core outcomes — independence skills, EET engagement, and emotional well-being — in a personalised, flexible way.
When the young person is ready, we actively support their transition into the Private Rented Sector or social housing — planned, positive, and empowering.
Our greatest asset is our people — experienced, passionate, and committed to low turnover so that young people never have to start over with a new face.
Overseeing all operations, partnerships, and strategic direction — ensuring every placement meets our rigorous quality standards.
Leading the keywork team with day-to-day outreach delivery, crisis management, and Pathway Plan alignment for every young person.
Dedicated to making every move-in and move-on as seamless as possible — the warm, consistent face for every new placement.
We don't believe in rigid, fixed-hour packages. Our support is dynamic, person-centred, and responsive — growing or stepping back as each young person's needs evolve.
Every young adult receives a bespoke package of support — not a one-size template. Delivered by our locally based staff teams, support is embedded directly into the young person's daily life.
Discuss a PlacementEvery young adult is matched with an experienced outreach worker who acts as mentor, advocate, and practical guide throughout their journey with us.
From daily welfare checks to intensive, multi-agency crisis intervention — outreach hours are tailored precisely to individual needs.
Teaching the mechanics of independent living — tenancy agreements, utility management, rent responsibility, and maintaining a safe household.
A stable, well-managed home is the foundation of everything. Our keyworkers work alongside young people to build the practical competencies needed to run a home — and keep it.
We focus on making these skills habitual, not just taught — so they stick long after the young person has moved on from our service.
Economic independence is a cornerstone of lasting stability. We actively remove the barriers that prevent young people from engaging with education and work — providing hands-on, practical support at every step.
Young people leaving care often carry significant emotional weight. A successful transition to independence requires resilience, safe relationships, and access to the right mental health support when it's needed.
For many care leavers, managing money is an entirely new and often overwhelming challenge. Our keyworkers provide practical, non-judgemental coaching that builds lasting financial confidence.
We understand that crisis doesn't wait for office hours. Our out-of-hours duty line ensures that support is always available when a young person needs it most — and that responses are swift, calm, and proportionate.
A stable, safe, and well-maintained property is the foundation of every successful transition. Our portfolio is built around the needs of young adults — not just a bed and a postcode.
From structured shared houses to standalone self-contained flats, our properties are concentrated in East London — in the boroughs and communities our young people already know.
Structured multi-bed houses providing a community living environment with keyworker support. Ideal for young people who benefit from peer relationships and on-site oversight as they build independence skills.
Standalone 1 and 2-bedroom flats offering greater autonomy and privacy. Suited to young people who have demonstrated readiness for a higher level of independence with floating outreach support.
We maintain capacity for emergency and short-notice placements via Children's Services referrals, with out-of-hours duty cover and immediate keyworker assignment.
We don't just provide a roof. Every Uplift property is prepared, maintained, and managed to give young people the best possible foundation.
Enquire About AvailabilityEvery property is inspected and maintained to exceed local authority requirements — safe, clean, and ready to move in.
All furnishings, white goods, and basic household essentials are provided so young people can focus on settling in.
Properties are positioned within familiar boroughs so young people can maintain existing support networks, education, and employment.
Repairs and maintenance are handled by our own team — fast, responsive, and without the delays of third-party contractors.
Internet access is essential for education, employment applications, and communication — included in every property.
Our accommodation is designed as a stepping stone — not a destination. We actively plan for and support every young person's move to full independence.
