United for Change 2026: Headline Sponsor Announced

We are thrilled to welcome The Care Leavers App as our official Headline Sponsor for ‘United for Change’ 2026.

The Care Leavers App are our Headline Sponsor for the upcoming national event, United for Change for Care Leavers, taking place on Tuesday 17th of November at The Vox in Birmingham. Our joint event with, The National House Project (NHP), and the Care Leavers National Movement (CLNM), is designed to bring the leaving care community together to share good practice and elevate young people’s voices. Having a headline partner whose entire mission aligns with this goal is a fantastic milestone for the event.

A Shared Mission for Care Experienced Young People

The Care Leavers App is a co-produced digital platform used by over 40 local authorities across the UK to improve outcomes for care-experienced young people. Available on both iOS and Android, the app provides young people with 24/7 access to trusted local information, advice, and guidance right on their devices, helping to increase engagement, build confidence, and ease the transition to independent living.

Every app is built in direct collaboration with young people, ensuring the platform is relevant, engaging, and genuinely meets their needs. From publishing digital Local Offers and promoting local social events to featuring real-time regional apprenticeship feeds from Gov.uk, the app acts as a vital lifeline to reduce social isolation. It also features exclusive partner hubs, including a Mental Health Hub created with The Mix, a Further Education Hub written with UCAS, and a local Food Bank Finder developed with Give Food.

Why the Care Leavers App is Joining Us in the Room

Speaking about the headline sponsorship, the team at The Care Leavers App shared:

“Every day, through our Care Leavers App, we see the dedication of professionals supporting care experienced young people, often quietly, and what young people go on to achieve when they’re given the right support. That’s exactly what United For Change is about, which is why we wanted to be part of it. It’s a privilege to sponsor something that puts the leaving care community front and centre.”
