Leicestershire Cares have been supporting Leicestershire County Council's Personal Advisors with their Leaving Care Parent's Group, aiming to build their support network's and bring opportunities for their family units to experience new things whilst making memories.
During our group sessions and social activities, a recurring theme from our parents is their feelings of being unheard and not having a voice during their time in the care system. As a result we felt it important to provide the group with a platform to share their experiences and tell their stories, and thus was born the Leaving Care Parent's Group Podcast.
Listen below for Part #1 where 2 of our group members share their experiences in becoming a Leaving Care Parent.
These groups help so much. It's the reassurance that you always have someone there to help

It's hard, I don't do well with families. But they have helped me so much, they've helped my journey.
