Thank you for your interest in Move Different
One of the biggest challenges is how confusing support services can be. Different organisations work separately, so you often have to repeat your story over and over, even the painful parts. This can slow things down, make you feel stressed, and force you to rebuild trust with every new adult you meet. It’s completely understandable that some young people end up feeling overwhelmed or stop reaching out for help altogether.
That’s why we need a better system—one that understands trauma, treats you with dignity, and allows information to be shared with your permission so you don’t have to keep starting from the beginning. A connected, easier-to-navigate support network would help remove stress, reduce confusion, and make sure you get the right help faster.
Our goal is to make support simple, safe, and joined-up, so they don’t stay stuck in tunnel vision and can build a future with confidence, support, and real opportunities.

Leah's story
My story began with heartbreak. At just five years old, I lost my baby brother and, not long after, witnessed another brother being kidnapped at knifepoint. My home life was unstable, filled with verbal and physical abuse.
By 12, I was taking on small jobs to contribute to my family, and by 14, I helped my mother take the brave step of moving to a women’s refuge. Adjusting to new schools and balancing responsibilities, I quickly learned that resilience wasn’t just about getting through each day, it was about finding ways to keep moving forward.
By 16, I was financially independent. The weight of adulthood came early, but it instilled in me a work ethic and determination that shaped my future.
