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.
and we have some things to say as well.
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.
TALK
What would you like to do?
We support care experienced people to explore their interests and develop their ideas—individually and together.
That might mean making something, learning something or bringing people together around an idea of their own.
Listen
Experience comes with expertise
Living in a system teaches you about its rules, relationships and decisions. That knowledge reaches beyond any one person’s story.
We help organisations take it seriously, involve people in decisions and do something useful with what they learn.
