Thrilled to be an #iWill Ambassador! ✨💛

I'll use my disabled, neurodiverse, care-experienced, and estranged background to empower youth & drive social change. Excited to join 1000 changemakers & influence policy. #PowerOfYouth #JoinTheMovement

Great day at the @childreninscotland.bsky.social conference in Glasgow speaking on the panel about stigma and the importance of addressing unconscious bias through my work with @careexpmovement.bsky.social

Feel free to add me if you’d like to connect as unfortunately I won’t be there tomorrow.

From now until July, puffins nest in burrows along Scotland's coastal islands and cliff tops. If you’re near a puffin colony, settle in and watch these little acrobats from a distance as they zip back and forth between their burrows. 👀

I’ve been hiding this for a while. Truly grateful for my support network for their support enabling me to grow as a campaigner 🥹☺️.

Just me and my dissertation in hand ✨. Statistically only 14% of CEP go to university and even less make it to graduation. I continue to fight for this to change and for young people to be heard in every room.

Excited to join the @childreninscotland.bsky.social Annual Conference 2025 for the Words Matter: The Impact of Stigma on Children and Young People panel!

Let’s dismantle stigma’s harm on care-experienced young people and amplify lived experience voices. #CareExperienced #EndStigma

Gender inequality and poverty fuel a toxic cycle — but breaking it benefits everyone. When women thrive, economies grow, and societies become stronger.

Millicent Wenlock FRSA StMIEnvSc on LinkedIn: #careday I spent years avoiding my care experience for fear of the stigma. After becoming a statistic of the roughly 1 in 3 care experienced people that become homeless…

I can tick being interviewed by BBC podcast off my list of campaigning for care experienced and estranged students to do list.

Millicent Wenlock FRSA StMIEnvSc on LinkedIn: #makepovertyhistory #mandela20 #forourfuture #g20southafrica There are some occasions that stand out in a campaigner's journey, and Tuesday was no exception. In a world where the global challenges we face can seem…

We are hoping to keep the momentum for the Mandela+20 Make Poverty History event going for the Walking the Talk campaign team that I’m part of. The more engagement we get the higher we can push up on MP priorities to advocate for global aid. Thank you ☺️.

We’re still waiting for the professional photos to be edited but I’ve scheduled a LinkedIn post for 8.30 am to keep the momentum going for the Mandela+20 event that happened on Tuesday.

I did an interview with the i paper this afternoon about being homeless as a care experienced and estranged student. I’ll drop the link to the story hopefully when it prints tomorrow/ Friday 🤝

I’ve made it to a very foggy morning in Westminster from Edinburgh. Just waiting for the rest of the Walking the Talk campaign team to arrive whilst I fuel up on coffee.
