#NCLW! Launched today in Bristol: Graduating Care South West, a new App and website for care experienced young people. A joint project with 14 local authorities across the West of England, co-produced with young people and leaving care teams. #NCLW24 #careleavers

Imagine if all parents effectively stopped supporting their children at 18, 21 or 25. A huge cultural shift is needed & an absolute requirement that the state becomes a parent for life for children who come into care.

As #NCLW2024 wraps up, let’s remember: supporting care leavers is more than just one week. Their voices, challenges, and triumphs deserve year-round attention. Thanks to everyone who joined us—let’s keep pushing for change! #CLNM #CareLeaversCan #AllOfUsWeAreOne #NHP

We're launching #TogetherForChristmas – our way of giving back this holiday season. ​ Christmas is a tough time for many children, young adults and families having to make hard choices between heating, essentials and presents.

Lots of fun with our families over half term - including a wild west prison break themed escape room in the North East, paint a pot at the Sheffield office and a volunteering session at a St Luke's Hospice Sheffield charity shop in Sheffield tinyurl.com/jointeamfoster…

Good to see, hopefully Education Committee will have an early look at Department for Education implementation of Regional Care Co-Ops & at the foster care recruitment crisis Caroline Voaden MP
