What young people and foster carers are saying

“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 Sondheim Theatre was amazing and a great experience. I am very grateful that I got to see Les Misérables — thank you!”

“Thank you so much for all the time and support you've given to both of my young people — it meant they could enjoy such a brilliant residential experience. They've come back absolutely buzzing! I'm so grateful for the positive memories you've helped create for them.” — Foster Carer
