National House Project
Market madness!!!!!
Posted 7th August 2023
The Stockport & Tameside House Project took part in the Teenage Market Regional Final finals in Leeds Kirkgate market on Saturday 29th July. It was an early start, and to their credit, they were all up and ready on time! They worked hard transporting all the stock from the car to the market and then did an amazing job of decorating the stall and displaying all the clothes, toys, and homeware stock we had collected. They interacted well with the public and were able to talk to the judges, with confidence, about the concept behind their stall, the House Project and what it has been like for them being in care.
The day was a huge success, and even though we didn’t go through to the finals the young people were highly commended by the judges, and presented with a Community Award!! They worked really hard, made some money to take home and won an award, they absolutely smashed it and we couldn't be prouder!!!!

A message from our CEO

This reality was brought home to us recently with Sue’s decision to swap her working life at NHP for retirement caring for her new granddaughter two days a week. Even though Sue is fully in control of this decision-making process - something our young people often are not - the transition has still been discombobulating; letting go of something she enjoys and that has defined her, and moving on to something that will be incredibly rewarding and joyous.
