Get involved
Find your way in.
There’s no wrong answer. Whether you’re care experienced, work in an organisation, or just think things should be better for people who’ve been in care, there’s something you can do.
Where do you fit?
If you’re care experienced
You’ve lived it. Here’s where to use it.
Three ways in. Pick the one that sounds most like you today.
“I’ve got something to say.”
Write for Community Voices
We publish writing by care experienced people: poetry, essays and reflections, in your own words. Send us a finished piece, or just an idea you’re not sure about yet.
“I want to speak up, but where do I start?”
Use our guides
Ten short guides on speaking, writing, storytelling, leading, campaigning and looking after yourself. Made by people with care experience, for people with care experience.
Find your guide →“What does ‘care experienced’ actually mean for me?”
Understand care experience
How the legal definitions work in Scotland, without the legal speak, and why the label tells you less than you might think.
Read it →We’re Scotland’s only charity founded and led by care experienced people. There’s a place for you in what we do.
Anyone can do this
Want to help? Start small.
You don’t need to be an expert, or have a budget. You just need to care about getting it right.
“I want to do something, but what?”
Host a coffee morning
Get a few people round a table, put the kettle on and talk about care experience. Our discussion guides come with questions ready to use. Tell us you’re hosting and we’ll help where we can.
“I want to hear what’s coming next.”
Join our mailing list
New guides, new writing and new ways to get involved, sent to your inbox now and then. No spam, and you can leave any time.
If you’re an organisation
Want to listen better? Let’s work together.
For services, charities, funders and policymakers who want care experienced people to shape what they do, not just be asked about it.
“We ask, but nothing changes.”
Work with us
Training for your team, fixed-price help with one specific problem, or a longer partnership.

Book Adam
Speaking, facilitation and specialist input from our founder.
Book Adam →“We fund this work. How do we get it right?”
Funders and policymakers
If you believe care experienced voices should shape policy and services, let’s talk about doing something beyond nodding in a meeting.
Get in touch →Still not sure?
Not sure where you fit? That’s fine.
Most good conversations start that way. Drop us a line at hello@projectchange.scot and tell us what you’re thinking.
