We are Care Experienced Activists.

 

We come from all walks of life, with differing experiences of the system. We all want to use our diverse lived experience of the care system to not only create and push for positive policy change, but to create a platform and support network for our community. 

 

We believe the Care Experienced community has not yet had its movement to push for real change and support each other in doing so, and that is why we believe this is a civil rights issue.

​

A brief update from us:

We became founded in July 2023 as a CIC. For the last year we have been focused on the core development of CXM. We wanted to develop a functioning movement, before we began to reach out to the wider community. For the last year we have been working on how we work within. We felt it was important to develop a functioning movement, before we began working directly on projects.

 

This means the work we have to share isn't the always the most exciting. It also must look like we haven't been up to very much! Building a functioning, safe and trauma-informed organisation takes time. This has also meant we have put a pause on all our social media while we develop a plan on what we want to share! We are aiming to start reposting on our social media and platforms from April 2024. If you'd like to touch base before then, please pop us an email on thecareexperiencedmovement@gmail.com
