I am a young student wanting to leave London to study in college. This will be the first time ever having a place of my own as I have grown up in a care home. Now that I have turned 18 it is time for me to leave the nest and start my own life adventures.
I am nervous about finding a home on my own as this subject is so foreign to me. I have no clue where to start or where to even look. When my caseworker from Beam got in touch with me a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulder as she advised me that she could support me in finding a new home as well as advising me on best platforms to use. My second worry was wondering how I would be able to afford the initial move in funds however my caseworker informed me that this is something they also support with.
This was so amazing to hear and I jumped at the opportunity as I was set to start my new college course in a matter of weeks.
Knowing that there is people that want to support me into a new home is the best feeling. I am so grateful that there are genuine people out there that want to help me into a better life.
