The House Project: Jason wins Aspirational awards

The House Project: Jason wins Aspirational awards

Posted 26th August 2022

Jason had to complete an application form, initially he said he was not going to apply but Nathaniel (House Project facilitator) reassured him and said he had nothing to lose and that’s finally what made him complete the application. Jason has always had a love for films and has always wanted to make props from the films he watches to start a business of making and selling them.

Jason said he wanted to get across his passion but not only that he wanted to get across how he wants to turn his passion into a business and winning the award has supported his passion and business idea so he can finally make props that he has always wanted.

He was mind blown that they agreed he needed the money, and his application was successful. Jason said they offered him extra money then he had initially asked for and this enabled him to get a better printer. Jason was overjoyed to have received the call. His advice to other young people thinking of applying would be that it doesn’t hurt to ask, you don’t lose anything if they say no and if they say yes, it’s a win/win.

Well done Jason!!

A message from our CEO January 2024

Last year we celebrated our 5th Birthday and whilst this was a great opportunity to reflect on our collective and individual achievements, we soon set about setting our vision for the next 10 years, and the strategy to get us there. Increasing our reach to more young people both by spreading and diversifying in local authorities where there is already an existing Local House Project (LHP) and scaling to new LAs is key whilst at the same time improving our offer by acting on the insights of young people, colleagues and independent evaluations.
