Leading Our Lives - a participation project led by care-experienced young people

The Fostering Network has received Big Lottery funding to run a new project called Leading Our Lives. The project will enable fostered children, care leavers and sons and daughters of foster carers to have a genuine voice in their own future and in services affecting them.
