What young people and foster carers are saying

My young person had an amazing time, he has shared lots of information around the activities, the in-jokes and his new friendships. I personally feel he has grown from the experience! We look forward to the next event” – Foster Carer

Thank you so much for taking my young person she had a great time. Thank you for all your hard work” – Foster Carer

“It’s a fun, educational, exciting opportunity that not many young people are lucky to have, and it would be beneficial for many more to have this opportunity as it gives them the chance to explore the wider world, socialise with others and have fun”

Today’s visit to the Victoria Palace Theatre was amazing and a great experience. I am very grateful that I got to see Hamilton — thank you
