Scotland’s only charity founded and led by care experienced people.
We help people talk.
We make people listen.
We help care experienced people explore their interests, develop ideas and bring people together. We work with organisations to take people’s knowledge seriously, and put it to use.
Where do you want to start?
Care experience
and everything else.
Living in care can teach you a lot about how the world works. Who makes decisions. Who gets believed. What happens when the rules meet an actual person.
That knowledge deserves to count. So do our interests, our ambitions, our relationships and the things we do for the sheer enjoyment of them.
There’s a whole person here.

What would you like to do?

“Experiential sessions on voice and participation that were always fully attended and very well received. Participants left with tools and resources they could keep using. Their creative, engaging ideas keep the voice of our care community at the heart of everything they do.”
