With the launch of our new Resident Engagement Strategy, called 'Stronger Together', engaging better with our younger customers is one of the core areas we're focussing on. We’re committed to supporting young people (16-25) to thrive through real work experience and personal growth opportunities. Whether you want to get hands-on with our teams, or join a skills webinar, this is your place to start.

The Horizon Hub

Where new horizons begin

You don’t just take part in the programme - you help build it. We’re inviting young people aged 16-25 to join our Young People’s Panel, where you can share your ideas, feedback, and opinions on everything from work experience to new Sanctuary projects. It’s a flexible way to have your say, influence real change, and make sure the voices of young people are always heard.

Step into Sanctuary

Interested in work experience, skills sessions, or learning more about different career paths? 

Step into Sanctuary is the route into hands-on opportunities for young people aged 16-25. It’s where you can register your interest in things like short work experiences, career insights days, and skill-building activities as they become available. 

Because these opportunities are shaped by young people, anyone involved in Step into Sanctuary has the chance to be part of the Horizons Hub – Sanctuary’s youth engagement community. The Horizons Hub is how young people share ideas, feedback, and experiences to help shape what opportunities look like now and in the future. 

Step into Sanctuary opens the door to opportunities. Are you ready to step in?
