We host weekly online Link-Ups for care-experienced young people aged 18+

Link-Up FAQs

Our Link-Ups are a virtual hang out space where young people can come together to chat, develop a sense of community, and have fun together.

We play lots of games, get competitive with quizzes, debate various topics and sometimes cook or craft together. We have Link-Up Specials, too, which have included a Pancake Day special, ‘Elf Yourself’ Christmas games, a poetry workshop and more. Our Link-Up Speakers Corners also welcome care-experienced speakers who share their life experiences and have an open discussion.

Link-Up is run by our Senior Advice and Support Office, Becca. She is often joined by other friendly members of our Care Advice team - Jade, Rasheeda, and Charlene.

We meet every Tuesday at 5:30pm-7pm on Zoom, and we would love to see you there.
