DIGITAL PLATFORM
Digital guidance for the journey ahead; created and written by those who have been there.
The Adelphi platform is a digital support resource designed to help care-experienced people navigate everyday adult life with greater confidence, clarity, and choice.
It brings together clear signposting, practical downloadable resources, and engaging content, all designed to empower users to understand their options, reduce overwhelm, and take meaningful next steps at their own pace.
WHAT IT IS
The Adelphi digital platform is a central hub of practical guidance created specifically for care-experienced people.
It combines accessible information, trusted signposting, and real-life context across the areas of life that often feel overwhelming when stepping into independence. Alongside written guidance, the platform includes downloadable resources and engaging content designed to support learning, reflection, and action beyond the screen.
The focus is not on telling people what to do, but on empowering informed choice- building skills, confidence, and helping users feel more in control of their next steps.
Created and written by someone who has been there themselves.

Join the Platform Today
Adelphi – Adulting, Together® provides practical guidance, support and opportunities for care-experienced young people navigating independence. The platform is designed to feel accessible, supportive and relevant to real life, bringing together lived experience, practical knowledge and trusted resources in one place. Access to the platform is provided free for young people thanks to partnerships with organisations and impact partners who help support Adelphi’s work.
Organisations may also access the Adulting Together platform to better understand the guidance, resources and opportunities available to the young people they support. While the content is written directly for care-experienced young people, organisational access allows professionals to explore the platform, strengthen understanding and complement their existing support. (Adelphi partnerships, training and initiatives are discussed separately depending on organisational needs.)
