The pathway team offers
Being involved usually requires having to travel. The provision
of a bus means you can get to work, events, meetings,
appointments and importantly, get home safely at night
(especially in winter). This is great!
​
Your views are important and you can help shape services to
best meet the needs of care leavers in York.
​
Social events are great and we get to choose and organise
them e.g. summer trips, meals out, cinema, Christmas lunch.
At 18 you have a right to vote on how the country is run,
“have your say”. No one should suffer discrimination for any reason, especially not for being a care leaver.
​
Doing voluntary work is a great way to get to know people and
contribute to the community you live in.
