Every young person needs stability, support and love to grow positively into adulthood, but there’s a crisis in the availability of suitable homes for children in care, and that’s having a harmful impact on care-experienced young people.

Children are taken into care when it’s not safe for them to stay at home. Whatever a young person has dealt with beforehand, being taken into care is itself traumatic. Many young people are moved miles from everything they know, creating feelings of isolation and loneliness.

“After leaving care, I felt really isolated and lonely. I was thrown into the world on my own and no-one cared about me.”

Many young people come through the care system and flourish, but far too many don’t get the stability, care and support they need to heal and thrive.

Your support is needed more than ever before:

Your donation will help to provide care-experienced young people with vital advice, community, and practical support

  • £10 could help a child in care stay in touch with brother or sisters living apart from them with friendly and expert guidance through a call to our Care Advice Line.
  • £25 could cover a care-experienced young person’s travel to speak in parliament, share their story, and become a change-maker with our Become the Movement network.
  • £50 could provide specialised coaching to help a young care leaver realise their goals such as beginning their career.
  • £75 could help a young person get to university and support them once there with one-to-one guidance through our programme Propel.
  • £100 could provide advocacy for a young person who has recently left care into long-term, stable accommodation with holistic support through our Care Advice Service.

Thank you to all our kind supporters!
