💜 One Hundred Voices: An unforgettable experience 💜

Recently, members of our Fostering People team, including foster carers and young people, attended the incredible One Hundred Voices exhibition as it toured Scotland.

The interactive installation brought the experiences and voices of care-experienced young people to life in a powerful and thought-provoking way, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who attended.

Our Registered Manager, Cassie, described it as "a very powerful insight into the experiences and feelings of young people", while our Managing Director, John, reflected on the importance of continuing to listen to and hear our young people.

We're grateful to have experienced such an inspiring project and hope others will get the chance to visit if the exhibition returns in the future.

💭 Have you attended One Hundred Voices? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
