House Project West Sussex

Mental Health Awareness Week runs between Monday 11 May - Sunday 17 May 2026. Even small actions can help us feel hopeful and less powerless and while our individual actions matter, when we come together we are even more powerful. mentalhealth.org.uk

We've had a busy few weeks at West Sussex House Project where we recorded our podcast and had the fire service come in! Stay tuned 👏

The wait is almost over! We recorded our first podcast and we're working hard to make it a good listen. Keep your eyes peeled for the drop on our socials!👀👀👀👀

Our new House Project Group is starting! 🏠✨ An exciting new chapter focused on teamwork, growth, and creating a positive space together. We can’t wait to get started!

Not long to go now until the cohort 7 welcome evening!

We’ve loved getting out and about – from a fantastic networking event at the Base, connecting with partners and sharing ideas, to rolling up our sleeves for a litter pick along Shoreham Beach. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us to make a positive impact in our community 🥳

Volunteers Wanted!!!! Podcast incoming........ Let your facilitator know if you're interested in sharing your house project journey of groups to moving into your own home.

Happy New Year from the West Sussex House Project team. Wishing everyone a positive 2026 full of joy and positivity! 🥳 This year we have helped 13 young people move into their own home with 2026 bringing more positive steps to independence. 🥳🙌🎉

This week we had our annual West Sussex House Project Christmas dinner! Thank you to our chefs, Lou and Yasmin and thanks to Sam and NHP who was able to come too! We wish you a Merry Christmas here at West Sussex House Project x

Thank you to our wonderful young people who came to #CLNMConference2025 We had a wonderful time and even made a new friend called Jim!! Thank you to #CLNM who put on a great day! #NHP #houseprojectws #careleaverscan

To continue our celebration of care leavers, we would like to share this wonderful poem written by one of our young people, Mary-Louise. Thank you for sharing your incredible work. #CareLeaversCan #Houseprojectws #NCLM #NCLW #NHP #CLNM

There’s something special about that first trip to IKEA or your favourite furniture store — when you’re picking out a desk for studying or even just your first set of plates. For many young people, furniture shopping marks a new chapter: independence. 🏡 #NCLW #houseprojectws

Cohort 6 starting next week!! 👏 #houseprojectws #NHP #CLNM #NCLW #CareLeaversCan

National Care Leavers Month takes place every November. It’s a month dedicated to celebrating care-experienced individuals, shining a light on their achievements, and calling for positive change. #NCLW #NCLM #NHP #CLNM #HouseProjectWS #CareLeaversCan

A huge thank you to B&Q & Neighbourly for donating 20 tins of paint to the West Sussex House Project! Every brushstroke brings them closer to a brighter, independent future, and we couldn’t do it without amazing partners like you. #ForeverHomes #YouthSupport #houseprojectws

At group, we have been really lucky to have 3 teams cook and share a meal! We had a spaghetti Bolognese a fry up and a cheesy chicken pasta (some with pink food colouring!) Thank you so much to all of our chefs! 😋👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 #houseprojectws #CareLeaversCan #NHP #NationalHouseProject

Big thanks to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service for attending our group session last night! We had a blazing good time! 😂 We are now writing lists of what could go up in flames and have learnt what we can do to avoid turning our homes into infernos! 🔥

21 young people took part in our feedback survey, and we’re proud to say that every single one reported: ✅ Their voices were heard ✅ They were involved in decision-making ✅ They have positive relationships with their facilitators

🎉 A Milestone Achievement! 🎉 We’re thrilled to share that the West Sussex House Project has successfully completed its first Regulation 32 Quality of Support Review!
