Andrews Charitable Trust (ACT) and Andrews Property Group, in partnership with 1625ip, are using their shared expertise to give young care leavers an affordable roof over their heads and support in finding work and becoming independent. ACT have pledged funding for 50 properties over 50 years for care leavers who are ready to access employment opportunities.
