Our Ambassadors
We’re so excited to work with our ambassadors and grateful for their support in raising awareness of our work and the issues facing children in care.
Celebrity ambassadors
Sonya Nisa is currently starring in Waterloo Road, where she plays teenager Aleena Qureshi. With parts in BBC1’s Casualty and Netflix dramas Red Rose and Damsel already behind her, Sonya has reached a stage in her career where she wanted to use her experience of growing up in care to give something back.
“When I came across Become and heard about their End the Care Cliff campaign, I knew I had to get involved. My friend had just moved in with me, who is care-experienced, because she had nowhere else to live. That’s because of the lack of support she got when she left care. The threat of homelessness is always around the corner for care leavers and it’s not right.
“I’m in a position to raise awareness of the challenges care-experience young people face and help them feel seen and heard. Become stands shoulder to shoulder with care-experienced young people and I am proud to now stand with them, to help improve the care system now and for the future.”
