A Quaker Social Action (QSA) housing project for young carers has been shortlisted for a national award organised by the Guardian newspaper. The Tower Hamlets-based ‘‘Move On Up’ project in London is one of the contenders for a Guardian Public Service Award for innovation in the housing sector after running for eighteen months. ‘Move On Up’ provides housing and tailored one-to-one support to young carers aged eighteen to twenty-five across four East London properties. According to QSA: ‘It is the first and only example of a housing solution specifically for this group, who make up around five per cent of all sixteen to twenty-four year olds in the UK.’
