Project Hope Evaluation Report
Project Hope is an innovative programme from the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, aimed at transforming employment and wellbeing outcomes for care-experienced young people aged 16 to 25. Co-designed with young people and partner organisations, the programme has provided paid placements, coaching, mentoring, workshops and holistic support across health, care, and commercial sectors.
This evaluation report outlines the impact of Project Hope so far – from 72 expressions of interest and over 1,400 funded days of travel to life-changing outcomes such as permanent job offers and newfound confidence. It also highlights the challenges faced, the lessons learned, and the ongoing commitment to breaking down systemic barriers.
