We support care leavers aged 18-21 to build stable, independent lives through mentoring, paid internships, and real opportunities. Because everyone deserves someone in their corner.
Not everyone gets what they need at the start. But that doesn't have to be the end of the story.
Be That CIC exists because the support that changes lives shouldn't be accidental. We connect care leavers with trained mentors, real job opportunities, and the practical support needed to thrive - not just survive. Where mentors show up, opportunities are real, and no one has to figure it out alone.
Four pillars designed to address the actual barriers care leavers face.
Matched with trained mentors who provide guidance, support, and belief. Someone in your corner who shows up consistently - not because they have to, but because they choose to.
Real work experience with employers who understand. Earn while you learn, build your CV, and create pathways to permanent roles. No unpaid "exposure" - genuine opportunity.
Access to devices, connectivity, and digital skills training. Because applying for jobs, managing benefits, and staying connected shouldn't be blocked by not having a laptop.
Practical money skills for real life. Budgeting, bills, savings, credit, and navigating the financial world with confidence. The stuff most people learn at home.
Whether you need support, want to provide it, or can open doors - we want to hear from you.
Aged 18-21 in London? Looking for a mentor, work experience, or just someone who gets it? We're here for you - no judgement, no hoops.
