Response to the Government's Care Review response
We spent a month visiting two local authorities throughout April 2023 to research the thoughts and opinions of care experienced people currently in the care system about the care review and the government's response to the care review. We spoke with 40 Care Experienced People in total to develop this response.
We have written a preliminary report to be submitted by the government's deadline of 11th May 2023, however, we will be working on a wider report over the next year to be submitted to government, while working in partnership with local authorities/councils. We hope to reach out to more Care Experienced People and develop a response that includes as many members of the Care Experienced community as possible.
We used our funding from Blagrave Challenge and change fund to cover the costs of this project. This can be seen via our open collective. These costs included paying CEYP £50 for their time, food/drink costs for the workshop days, and the expenses of travelling to Brighton and Wolverhampton to work with young people.

Rebranding - C.X.M
We are currently going through a rebrand! This includes shifting from being CEM to CXM, a new logo and new colours! We hope this will be all ready and going live from September! We have been working with our board member Paul to come up some fresh and punchy new looks for CXM!
Developing a membership
Right now, we don't have a membership in a formal sense. This is something we would like to develop once we are a legal entity and have the funding in place to develop a membership that supports, champions, and uplifts the people apart of the Care Experienced Movement. One that gives back to the community.
Once we have developed this, we will put out an open call for people to join the movement in a membership style. We will share more updates on this soon.
