Built for the journey into independence.
Leaving care is a major life transition. Young people need practical support with housing, money, health, education, employment and communicating with services, all in one place, designed around their needs.
This version of HelpMe UK brings together dedicated tools and pathways that help care leavers understand information, access support, plan ahead and feel more confident at every step.
Your CouncilHi, AaliyahTwo people. Two languages. One conversation.
When a young person and their worker, GP or housing officer don't share a language, HelpMe UK translates the conversation in real time, so each person reads and speaks in their own language.

Built from real experience
HelpMe UK was created by someone with lived experience of the care system and of arriving in the UK without confident English. The first version reached over 1,247 people with no advertising, and the feedback from young people and the teams who support them is what led us to build this dedicated care leaver version.
Always growing, always guided by young people
We're continually adding new tools and improvements, shaped by feedback from care leavers and leaving care teams. New features roll out regularly, and every young person who joins keeps their access as the app grows.
Nobody gets left behind
Whether you're a young person leaving care, a support worker, a local authority or a charity. HelpMe UK for Care Leavers is designed to make independence easier.
