In East London, too many young people leave care and step into adulthood carrying more than most — responsibility, resilience, and often a lack of the support networks others rely on.
Being care-experienced should never mean being overlooked.
At Foundation for Future London, we believe the people closest to the challenge are closest to the solution. That’s why we work alongside care-experienced young people — not as participants, but as partners.
Our Co-Creating Meaningful Change with Care Leavers programme puts lived experience at the centre of decision-making. Together, we shape ideas, influence systems and design solutions that reflect real lives, real ambition and real potential.
This isn’t about consultation.
It’s about power, voice and opportunity.
Because when care-experienced young people lead the conversation, change doesn’t just happen — it lasts.
