### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Home & Belonging initiative aims to make a significant contribution towards transforming care experienced young people's experiences as they grow and develop beyond formal care and are supported to find a strong sense of home and belonging in their own communities. This funding initiative has been designed to create spaces for people to explore fresh concepts and move beyond existing models of service and support, providing opportunities to support care experienced young people through their transition out of care and into fulfilling futures. We are seeking dedicated, knowledgeable and creative evaluators who will examine the work of the Trust's Home and Belonging initiative across Scotland. The primary goal of the evaluation is to determine whether or not the Home and Belonging Initiative met its aims.
