Barnardo's Kickstart Futures Service; Floating Support for Care Leavers in Sutton Barnardo's, in partnership with The London Borough of Sutton, is providing a floating support service for Care Leavers with low to medium levels of support needs. The service provides floating support to care leavers and unaccompanied asylum seekers across a range of properties located within the borough of Sutton, as well as a small number of young people based elsewhere in the community, mainly around The London Borough of Sutton and neighbouring boroughs.
