You might like to visit the IMO website - write, speak, share. IMO is a voice for young people in care and for care leavers. It is somewhere you can share stories, experiences and achievements, get and give advice, and find loads of great free stuff! Visit their website: imohub.org.uk
Access to records
You don’t have to pay and you can receive support for your emotional wellbeing in the process. It’s a BIG DEAL!
You can find more details on our page Information about you and privacy – “Can I see the information you have about me?”.
“Through our experience of working with care leavers we recognise that accessing your records is often a really difficult process to go through – make sure you have support around you” .

Grand Mentors
If you’re 16-25 years old you might like to have a Grand mentor. Grand mentors are 50+ year old volunteers with Volunteering Matters, who offer their wisdom and life experiences to help you get to where you want to be.
They offer weekly check ins and can help with (for example) advice, motivation, socialising, reaching goals.
Sounds like a good idea? Get in touch, details on the website: Grandmentors – Volunteer (Suffolk) – Volunteering Matters
