Our young people had a fantastic time on our residential trip, which focused on preparing for their future.
They met with one of our care experienced panel members, who was able to share with them what moving into independence looked like for them, and how this shaped their career working with children in care as a Personal Advisor.
The young people went on to have some interesting discussions, sharing some great ideas and contributions, which will help create a preparation for independence booklet for all our care experienced young people, as they enter their pathway to leaving care.
Alongside their project, they had lots of fun kayaking, singing, rock-climbing, pizza-making, toasting marshmallows, and making new friends! They all made us incredibly proud, and we can't wait to see the finished project.
Thank you to colleagues from our partner agency, Foster Careline, and our National Participation Lead for organising the trip ππ
