Youth Hubz provides high-quality supported accommodation across West Yorkshire for young people preparing for independence.

We offer a range of accommodation options to meet individual needs, including shared houses (with a maximum of five young people), solo placements, self-contained flats and trainer flats designed to support progression towards independent tenancies. Some properties include specialist adaptations to meet additional needs.

All accommodation is maintained to a high standard, compliant with relevant housing requirements and furnished to create safe, modern and welcoming environments. We believe that quality surroundings promote dignity, stability and confidence.

Our approach is trauma-informed, person-centred and guided by the voice of the young person. We actively involve young people in shaping their support, from setting goals to making decisions about their living environment and daily routines.

Each young person has an individual support plan that identifies the practical skills and personal development areas needed to prepare for independence. Structured key work sessions provide regular opportunities to review progress, reflect on challenges and plan next steps in partnership with the young person and their professional network.

We support young people to develop essential life skills, including budgeting, cooking, maintaining their living space, planning meals and managing personal responsibilities. Our aim is to build confidence through consistency, encouragement and clear boundaries.

Our practice is informed by the PACE approach (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy), which guides how we build trusting, emotionally safe relationships. Staff respond thoughtfully to behaviour, recognising that past experiences may shape how young people express themselves.

We work collaboratively with local authorities and partner agencies to ensure support remains proportionate, safeguarding-focused and centred on positive progress. Progress is measured through clear support planning, regular reviews and meaningful involvement from young people.

Above all, we aim to create stable, supportive environments where young people feel safe, valued and increasingly confident in their ability to live independently.

Youth Hubz began in 2019 with a simple belief: that small, high-quality and homely provision offers the best foundation for young people transitioning from care.

Founded as a family-run organisation, Youth Hubz was built on strong values, personal accountability and a long-term commitment to improving outcomes for young people.

We started with one three-bedroom property and a small, dedicated team. As our work developed, we were increasingly asked to support young people whose needs required thoughtful planning, specialist input and strong partnership working. By working closely with local authorities and specialist services, we built a reputation for providing stable, well-managed placements where young people could make meaningful progress.

Over the past seven years, we have grown steadily and responsibly. Today, Youth Hubz supports young people across a range of properties designed to promote independence and stability.

Our growth has been driven by trust, outcomes and demand — not speed. While we have expanded, we remain committed to maintaining small, supportive environments where relationships, safeguarding and high standards come first.

Alongside Youth Hubz, we have developed a sister care company providing children’s homes. Each service operates within its own regulatory framework while sharing the same core values of safety, respect and aspiration for every young person.

We are proud of how far we have come over the past seven years, but our focus remains the same as it was in 2019: creating safe, structured environments where young people can build confidence and move towards independent and fulfilling futures.
