What a night!
We're still buzzing from the amazing #CareDay25 Awards Ceremony on Friday night. Well done to all the young people involved, whether you took home and award or not. And a massive THANK YOU to everyone involved in the event. We greatly appreciate your support!

Like many care-experienced people, I am ambiguous about #careday25 - it mostly feels like a day for big orgs to gain PR opportunities/fish for likes.
That being said, it would be remiss not to mention Free Loaves on Fridays, written by 100 care experienced children & adults.
Here are some more quotes from our young people...

Dyma ragor o ddyfyniadau gan ein pobl ifanc...

Illustration of a figure standing up on a ramp with a megaphone and a speech bubble making a statement. Text above reads "On this day of celebration, coming just over five years since the promise was made to the care community, we send out love and good wishes to all care experienced children, young people, adults, and their friends, family and supporters. We never cease to be humbled by the many special people involved in a community we are proud to both stand alongside and be a part of".
A message from The Oversight Board for #CareDay25 ⬇️
Fe wnaethon ni ofyn i’n pobl ifanc sut byddai rhywun cefnogol yn edrych?
Efallai mai pethau bach ydyn nhw, ond mae’n bwysig gwybod beth sy’n helpu ein cymuned sydd â phrofiad o ofal i ffynnu a theimlo eu bod yn cael eu cefnogi gan eraill.

We asked our young people what does someone who cares look like?
It may be the little things but its important to know what helps our care experienced community thrive and feel supported by others.

I penned some thoughts for #CareDay25 about the woman who’s held my hand since I was 4.
Relationships matter.
Edi put her head above the parapet and challenged the status quo in 2002.
She fought so hard to have a relationship with me.
She shouldn’t have had too.
The world needs more Edi’s💜

Today is #CareDay25, a day of celebration & connection for the care experienced community. The promise would not have been made without all of those who shared their stories & used their voices to demand change. A huge thank you to the care experienced community, today & everyday.

Today is #CareDay25 & we're delighted to join with colleagues globally as we celebrate all children and young people with lived experience of care.
