#RealStoriesOfCare

Growing up in care is different for everyone.

There is no one experience. We are young people with our own hopes, dreams, and aspirations.

Care is where we’ve been, not who we are, or who we can be.  People often have preconceptions about growing up in care but through our stories about the past, today and the future, we hope to change that. We think that they’ll surprise you, inspire you, and help you see that there’s so much more to us than you may think.

Discover #RealStoriesOfCare and find out what it’s really like – or visit our explore section.
