Thanks to the kindness of our supporters, we directly helped over 155,000 children, young people and families last year. In this edition of the Coram newsletter, discover how through our advocacy support, helpline, writing competition and surveys, we get young voices heard in matters that concern them.
Through the Coram Voice helpline and advocacy service, thousands of young people each year are supported to access their rights in relation to their safety, housing and entitlements. Coram Voice hosts a national annual creative writing competition, ‘Voices’, for care-experienced children and young people to amplify their voices further and showcase their talents.
The cost-of-living crisis and growing pressures on services mean that more and more children and young people are falling through the gaps, unable to access the support and services they need. This is where Coram comes in – we are there to fight for better chances for every child, now and forever.
