Connecting Together

Connecting Together 

Care experienced young people have told us how they feel isolated and lonely and of the negative impact that Covid-19 restrictions are having on their wellbeing. We have been successful in securing a grant from the WCVA to support care experienced young people through this difficult time. Employing a Volunteer Coordinator, the aim of the project is to bring young people together through virtual social events and to offer wellbeing packages. 

Whether the young person is in foster care, a residential setting, kinship care or living independently they are eligible to receive a wellbeing package. This could include: 

  • Information and advice about Coronavirus 
  • Arts & Crafts 
  • What support Voices is providing including virtual events 
  • Help with independent living e.g. provision of food vouchers 
  • How to get involved in their local community
