Development opportunity for care experienced people

We would like to welcome people with care/lived experience to get involved in the development of a new online channel.

The new channel will not only host the legacy work of the Life Changes Trust care experience programme, but it will also be a place to read and hear about new and exciting projects relevant to the care experienced community!

From research to films, animations and amazing artwork, the new channel will have it all and if you would like to help with this development and have your say about how it should look and its content, please get in touch as we’d love to hear from you!
