Settle

Who we are

Settle is a charity that supports young adults as they leave the care system and move into their first
home. We provide intensive one-to-one support addressing practical life skills, sustaining a tenancy
and managing emotional wellbeing. Our preventative approach to homelessness helps care-experienced
young people to make long-lasting changes and thrive.

We are a fast-growing organisation and 2023/24 was a big year for Settle. We worked with more
young people than ever before, developed new services and expanded our team. Since launching in
2015, we’ve supported over 750 young people across London and the South East and we’re proud to
have won the Care Leavers category award at the 2023 Children and Young People Now Awards. We
also featured in Escape the City’s Top 100 social impact organisations 2022, Guardian Public Service
Awards finalists in 2019 and Big Issue’s Top 100 Changemakers in 2022.

We work with some brilliant partners, from JP Morgan Chase Foundation and the National Lottery
Community Fund, to local authorities and housing associations across London. We’re a deeply
committed team of 17 supported by a brilliant board of 9 trustees who help us achieve our social
mission. We have ambitious plans to continue scaling our impact over the coming years and will be
launching our 2025-28 strategy soon.

Our culture and values

We are a dedicated and supportive team committed to providing the best possible service to the young people we work with and creating an inclusive, fun work environment with a strong focus on staff wellbeing.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are dedicated to being a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging and where diversity is celebrated.

To support this, we have regular staff satisfaction and wellbeing surveys to ensure everyone’s voices are heard and the responses help shape us as an employer and as a team. We recently ran a workshop to explore what belonging is at Settle which sparked some fascinating discussions which we will continue reflecting on.
