Daffodils, A Memoir (2022) @LouiseWriter A harrowing story in which Louise reflects on her/siblings life after their mother's attempted #suicide. A difficult childhood, with their parents’ divorce, mental health issues & stays in a local #orphanage. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Here's a letter, sent today to key figures in UK government and opposition, cogently setting out the impact on young care leavers of the current cost-of-living crisis. It's signed by our National Director, David Graham (@careleavers) and a number of other charities in the sector.

⁦@AlboMP⁩ ⁦@LindaBurneyMP⁩ Please can U tell CareLeavers what is ⁦@AustralianLabor⁩ policy on #indexation for paltry prior abuse payments ? Many CareLeavers taxed up to $14,000 from #Redress cos indexation CareLeavers poorest of abuse victims #auspol #ausvotes

Really proud that @CareExp_Culture enjoyed and shared this. My memoir #Daffodils speaks a lot about care - about receiving it from places outside the home, via foster care, orphanages, other relatives. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #fostercare #caresystem

The image represents a bridge from the past to present, a bridge to the people, a bridge to the future and bridging the divide in understanding of the history of Care Experienced people.

As a result of oppression & systemic mismanagement of their lives, many Care Experienced people haven’t had the opportunity to meet their full potential. This symbol was created by Care Experienced people, to commemorate Care Experienced people throughout global history.

1/5 One day I went to a gallery & saw this picture of a little boy. He lived in Edwardian Britain.  He looked sad. Lost. All of it. I told myself I would one day write his story.

We're currently broadcasting our final Care Experienced History Month lecture. David Anderson, @RunAskol shares the origins and history of assessment centres and their use in Scotland. #CEHM Find out more about Care Experienced History Month. careexperiencedhistorymonth.org

Mr Hill said: “The Australian government, the New South Wales (NSW) government and the British Government are all guilty of lying, denying and covering up and they all got caught." @CEHMAU @HistoryOfCare
