Calling all kids growing up in care

Dear Editor, – Growing up in care myself, I know how frustrating it feels when people don't listen to you. Young people in care in your local area have something to say and they want you to listen.

It takes place on August 5 & 6 and is organised by A National Voice and supported by the British Association of Adoption & Fostering. So if you know of a young person who has something to shout about, get them along to Amplify so they can be heard. Read
