You might have the right to support if you: 

• are aged 16 to 25

Your care may have included: 

• foster care 
• residential care (like a children’s home)

• if you arrived alone in the UK to seek asylum before 18 

If you are unsure whether you qualify for the local offer, please contact our care experienced team.
