We are a group of young people aged between 12 and 20 – we have all been in care at some point in our lives. We meet up as a group once a month. We aim to try and improve things for children in care and make sure that councillors and Shropshire Council staff take our wishes on board, when they plan services for children in care.

We have achieved many things, since we were set up in 2008. We have helped to set up a mentoring scheme for young people in care, delivered training to foster carers and councillors, and helped to give feedback to other groups who want to know the views of young people in care.

Although we discuss some serious stuff, we try and make the meetings fun and very young-person-friendly. The young people attend on a voluntary basis at the moment, but their hours that they give up are put towards a v Involved certificate.

We are lucky to be a part of UK Youth’s Hearing Unheard Voices project; the views of young people in care are rarely taken into account. We are currently working on a short film about the prejudice that young people in care face. This is going to be shown at The Public gallery, as part of the Hearing Unheard Voices exhibition.
