Accommodation
GOOD2GO Care Services provides a high quality shared supported units in the Harlow area for young people between the ages of 16-18 years old who are referred to us by local authorities.
The units are designed to accommodate the more mature young person. We here at GOOD2GO ensure that all young people referred to us receive a comprehensive:

Support
All accommodation will be monitored to ensure that they deliver an individually tailored support programme that incorporates independent living skills. Some young people refer to leaving care as ‘the instant expectation of adulthood’. They are suddenly expected to know how to cook their own meals, run home and manage their finances, all in one go and without any support.
Therefore, living in a Good2Go before leaving care can be hugely beneficial. We provide safe, comfortable homes for care leavers, unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people children, where they can learn the essential life skills they will need when they transition to independent living
