About | Klarighty Homes 1

At Klarighty Homes, our name reflects our purpose. Inspired by the words “clarity” and “brightness,” we are committed to bringing light and direction into the lives of care leavers. Just as a clear, bright day illuminates the path ahead, we strive to guide and support young people as they transition from the care system to independent adulthood. Our name serves as a symbol of hope, stability, and opportunity, embodying our unwavering dedication to those who need it most.

Our Purpose

Care leavers often face significant challenges as they step into adulthood without the safety net of the care system. Klarighty Homes exists to bridge this gap by providing a safe, stable, and nurturing environment where young people receive tailored support, practical life skills, and emotional guidance. Our goal is to foster confidence, resilience, and independence, ensuring that every care-experienced young person has the opportunity to build a bright and secure future.

Our Vision

We envision a world where care leavers are fully empowered to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. Through holistic support, community engagement, and advocacy, we aim to:

Break down barriers that limit opportunities for care leavers.
Eliminate stigma associated with care experience.
Create a society where every young person, regardless of their background, has the support they need to succeed.

Our Mission

At Klarighty Homes, we are dedicated to:

Providing a nurturing and supportive environment where care leavers can thrive.
Empowering young people with life skills, confidence, and resilience for a successful transition into adulthood.
Ensuring access to essential resources, mentorship, and opportunities that lead to a secure and fulfilling future.

At Klarighty Homes, we believe that every young person deserves a future filled with promise, possibility, and success—and we are here to help make that happen.
