In this Episode Caroline Marsh explains how, in lockdown, she went from being a property investor to setting up a service to support young people in care. She talks about the reality of setting up a service, the impact a service like this can have and gives some great advice for anyone looking to set up a support service of their own.

‌

Caroline Marsh is Operations Director at Kingdom Youth Services (KYS), an outstanding CQC supported living service provider based in Swindon. Prior to this Caroline and her husband set up and ran a successful property investment business specializing in professional HMO’s, in lockdown in 2020 they decided to use some of her properties to help others and this resulted in them setting up a supported living service to support young people who are in care.

KYS vision is to inspire Individuals to a world of possibilities and prepare them to fulfil their potential. All individuals deserve the right to be supported and encouraged to explore their potential regardless of perceived hurdles and challenges. A core value of KYS is that life can be challenging, and things will & do go wrong, however falling forward is a mind set and getting things wrong is to be seen as an opportunity to learn and grow.
