Care experienced people are people of any age who have spent any time within the care system; whether that’s through foster care, residential care homes, adoption, kinship, secure care, or having social work intervention. This is what makes someone 'care experienced'. THREAD 👇
Care day is a national awareness day held in February to celebrate care experienced people. @ReclaimCare was formed in response to the tokenism which our community experienced on these days. Voices of care experienced people were often being lost due to poorly planned campaigns.
On #CareDay21 we decided, in response to National Care Leavers Week, that we wanted to RECLAIM the day for care experienced people from organisations, charities and non #CEP. This led to the creation of our first campaign & manifesto.

In W Montana, Flathead Rez Community Action is serving 100+ families a week from all over:

“We don’t ask tribal affiliation. I’d say more than half of the families we serve aren’t tribal. We also don’t ask for income verification."
