“Who are we?”
We are care experienced young people, between 16-25 years of age, who meet up monthly across Suffolk in Bury, Ipswich and Lowestoft.
“What do we get up to?”
We’re a social group who discuss experiences of day to day life over a cuppa and a jaffa cake.
We aim to improve the services and the experiences of young people in care and leaving care.
“How do I get involved?”
Come and join a group…
Are you aged between 16-25 years of age? We would love for you to get involved! Contact us via your Social Worker or Personal Adviser.
“How can I give feedback on the Leaving Care Service?”
The feedback you give us on your experiences is really important. Our Voice is a great opportunity to tell us what is going well and what needs to be improved.
What have we been working on?
- Challenging the stigma about being in care – The Tracy Beaker Myth.
- Meeting with future social workers at the University of East Anglia.
- We set up a new drop in service at West Suffolk House in Bury.
- Young people have become involved in interview panels for new staff and contracts such as housing and mental health.
- We have improved support for 18 – 21 year olds.
- We have improved the provision of practical life skills support.
