Welcome to The Who Cares? Trust

The Who Cares? Trust is a voice for children in care. Everything we do is designed to improve the day to day experience of children and young people in care - and their future lives.

There will always be a need for some children to be cared for away from their birth families. That's why we are helping to create a world where all children in care are raised by people who care for, value and respect them.  Every child in care should receive the support, encouragement and opportunities they need to enjoy their life and to achieve.

So how exactly does The Who Cares? Trust make a difference to the lives and outcomes of children in care?

Here's how:

We support and inform young people in care through our magazines, publications, projects and campaigns.

We use our knowledge about young people in care to help and influence people who make the policies and legislation that affect them.

We produce information and support materials for foster carers and professionals - such as social workers and teachers - to help them do the best they can for children in care.  

Because with the right help and people in their lives who believe in them, every child in care can thrive.
