The National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS) is a rights based charity which operates across England and Wales for children, young people and adults.
About Side by Side
Our Side by Side care leavers programme aims to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness for care leavers and to bridge the gap between leaving care and finding their own way in the world by embarking on their journey ‘side by side’ with them when they need it.
Every child taken into care and every young person who leaves it should expect the very best care alongside the support and love they need to thrive.
Sadly, far too many young care leavers are thrust into the adult world before they are ready, facing a life without the support of family and friends that so many of us take for granted.
