The One Hundred Voices installation opens its doors to the public next week at the Scottish Parliament👏

We're proud to have been a partner in this project alongside the National Theatre of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland.

Understanding the experience of care starts with listening. Over the past three years, the Caring Scotland project has done exactly that by documenting and recording the lives of Care Experienced people across Scotland. One Hundred Voices brings those stories together in a powerful and immersive installation.

If you're able to visit, we encourage you to experience it for yourself. Find out more and book your tickets below. ⬇️

The Who Cares 2 Party? photo album is now live!

Our Summer Festival was an incredible day, and we're so glad so many of you could be part of it - over 200 of you!

There were bouncy castles, carnival games, face painting, emergency services vehicles and lots to do, but most importantly, the day was about the hundreds of people we brought together. Our events are free and bring together people who 'get it' and that's why we do this every year.

Click here to see all the photos and the many smiling faces! - https://www.whocaresscotland.org/who-cares-2-party-2026-photo-album/

⭐ A special thank you to everyone who donated and gave up their time to make the day possible. If you'd like to help us create more free opportunities like this for Care Experienced people and their families, there's still time to support our Summer Appeal. Every donation makes a difference - https://www.justgiving.com/charity/whocaresscotland

Your donation made this day possible⭐

Hear from some of the Care Experienced people who joined us at our Summer Festival on Saturday and why the day meant so much to them.

Their words are a reminder of why we do what we do. Bringing together people who 'get it' and understand the experience of care to connect creates long lasting friendships and memories.

👉Donations are vital to our work and without it we cannot run events like this. You can help to create more moments like this by donating today or setting up a monthly direct debit - https://donate.justgiving.com/charity/whocaresscotland/donation-amount

On Saturday, we welcomed more than 300 people to our Summer Festival and what a day it was!

Instead of showing you the day through our eyes, we're sharing it through Michael's. We gave one of our Care Experienced members a camera and asked him to capture the festival from his point of view.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible. Your donations and support meant we could create these amazing moments and memories for so many Care Experienced people.

Connecting people with care experience is so important, not just locally but also across nations.
