Young people create film about care
Check out our powerful short film made by a group of care leavers to tell the truth about life in care.
The team wanted the film to show both the 'good' and 'bad' sides of growing up in the care system, and to tackle unfair stereotypes about young people in care.
Our blogger John is a care leaver with lots to say about life in and after care. This time he talks about how being mixed race affected his time in care, and his struggle with his own racial identity.
Fill out our survey and you could win a Nintendo Wii!
We are running an online survey to find out what kinds of help and support young people in care find most helpful.
We really want as many young people in care as possible to fill in this survey, so that we can understand what you need.
It won't take long and it's really easy to do - we promise.
And here’s the cool bit – if you fill in the survey and give us your email address you’ll have a chance of winning a Nintendo Wii and games bundle - now wouldn’t that be worth it for five minutes of your life answering a few questions?!
Whether you’re looking for information about healthy eating, staying fit, sex and relationships or feeling good about yourself, we’ve got the non-nonsense facts that you need to make the right choices for you.
In his most recent post, our resident blogger John talks about his experience of leaving care and explains why care will always be a part of who he is.
It's that time of year again - summer's over and it's time to get back to that classroom.
