In December, Rica, one of our #SettleAdvocates, was interviewed by the Evening Standard and met with Lemn Sissay to talk about her experiences and her poetry.

Now that some time has passed, Rica, one of the #SettleAdvocates, has had a chance to reflect on meeting Lemn Sissay and sharing her story and her poetry through Comic Relief and @thelondonstandard.bsky.social's #WhosAtYourTable Campaign.
From the Settle community to our Advocacy Forum and the #SettleAdvocates, we continue to see the brilliant things care-experienced young people accomplish every day. We are so thankful for our ever-growing community.
So we want to say a special thank you to you all.
Rica, one of the incredible #SettleAdvocates, recently met with the brilliant Lemn Sissay to talk about their shared experiences of the care system and the “care cliff” facing young people leaving care across the UK.
