Project: Adopteens
Purpose: To provide a range of support for adopted young people
Funding: Adopteens is commissioned by One Adoption North and Humber and One Adoption West Yorkshire. Other funding includes a three-year grant of £326,824 from the National Lottery Fund in 2023 to expand its work across the whole of Yorkshire and the Humber and £30,000 from BBC Children in Need to develop the Adopt a Change programme
Background

Adopteens was set up by a group of local authority adoption teams and voluntary adoption agencies in Yorkshire and the Humber inspired by feedback from local young people.
