Cocoon Attendance

The Cocoon has been described as a “lifeline,” “home from home” and “safe space” by care leavers. Young adults from diverse backgrounds use the Cocoon on a day to day basis, and benefit from one to one support given by the staff.

Three members of staff work from the Cocoon on a regular basis and are well known to all the care leavers. The Head of service and Group Manager visit the Cocoon weekly and have an opportunity to meet with care leavers, address any queries and respond to any requests. Feedback is that this is really working well, and young people like to see senior managers from time to time.

Below is a graph and table outlining the Cocoon weekly attendance from 28th August to last week in December:

As part of promoting a healthy mind and positive interaction for young people aged 16-25, we have football sessions every Tuesday at Powerleague with coach Mark.
