Our business has been providing support, nurturing, listening and empowering “Care Leavers” aged 16-25 since 2005. We started by working specifically with asylum seekers and in 2007 under Little Acorn Services our work widened to meeting the needs of all “Care Leavers” aged 16-25.

All staff at LAS first and foremost have to love working with young people and facing new and exciting challenges! All staff have enhanced DBS, are experienced and qualified with minimum QCF 3 in working with young people and adhere to continuous professional development. Our experience and passion for working with care leavers, teenage parents/babies and with unaccompanied minors means we can provide care and support for a wide variety of individual needs and experiences.
