To celebrate National Care Leavers Week 2024, this week we are shining a light on teens and young adults who have grown up in the care system. There are around 82,000 young people in the care system and each one of them has a unique story and faces challenges that many can only imagine.
These interviews are taken from a wider project funded by the National Lottery Awards for All programme. For the last six months Youth Social have been embedded within a local care drop in centre to build trust and create a safe platform for young people to share their experiences.
It is hoped that the podcasts will not only boost the knowledge capital of the participants, but that their stories will support others in care to navigate difficulties and provide a youth voice to guide those with responsibilities for improving service delivery.
On Thursday 24th October, a number of the participants came to together with care professionals and local government officials to celebrate their achievement.
