Have a look around. If you are a care leaver, why not join us? If you'd like to contact people that you were in care with then why not join CareleaversReunited as well? Feel free to tell us your ideas, come to our meetings or just keep coming back here from time to time.
We focus on a range of issues that are relevant to care leavers. Explore our website to find out more. Full membership is open to anyone aged 18 or over who spent all or part of their childhood in care. If you support us but were not in care you can become an associate member.

On Monday 2nd August the Care Leavers' Association launched a ground-breaking report on the experiences of adult care leavers. Listen Up! Adult Care Leavers Speak Out is the first-ever national survey on this subject. This innovative research report looks at the experiences and views of 310 care leavers aged from 17 to 78. It looks at both their experiences in care and their subsequent lives after care and brings together, for the first time, information covering life in care, leaving care, education, accessing records and reflections on the past. A copy of the report can be found here: Listen Up! Report
