2024-25 Annual Reports are here!

Posted 9th July 2025

At NHP everything we do starts with young people. It was their voices, honest, powerful, and full of vision that sparked our journey. Back in 2015, a small group of care experienced
young people (HP10) shared what leaving care felt like, and more importantly, what it could look like. From that spark, the very first Local House Project (LHP) was established.

Since then, we’ve grown, intentionally, and always in partnership. In 2018, we established NHP as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, with a mission to support Local Authorities (LA) in
creating LHPs that enable young people to leave care with purpose, ambition, confidence, and community.

Fast forward to November 2024, and we proudly celebrated a huge milestone, 500 young people had now moved into their first home. That same month, we gathered in Manchester for the CLNM Annual Conference, an incredible celebration filled with joy, connection, and shared purpose. Over 200 young people, staff, funders, and friends of NHP came together, not just to reflect on how far we’ve come, but to consider what ‘developing direction’ meant for young people, LAs, NHP and the sector.

This past year has been one of growth and recognition. We moved into a vibrant new office space, welcomed new talent to our team, formed exciting new partnerships, and continued to
evolve as a learning organisation. National awards acknowledged our work, but our proudest achievements remain the deep, authentic relationships we’ve built and the sense of
belonging that defines everything we do. At the heart of it all is the ‘House Project spirit’, an unwavering belief in young people, in their potential, and in the power of community. We know that success doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s forged in connection, in interdependence, and in a shared belief that we are stronger together. The young people who once challenged the status quo are now leading the charge, driving forward the change they want to see. At the CLNM Annual Conference, CLNM Champion and former Chair Kiyia said it best:

“Together, I believe we can be the driving force of inspiration, influence and positive change for all young people.”

We couldn’t agree more.  As we look ahead, our commitment remains clear: to support young people to live connected, fulfilling lives and to build a future where they truly belong.
