Drive Forward Foundation helps young care leaver to make momentum and achieve their career ambitions.
Care To Career Festival 2024
On 10th July 2024, the Drive Forward Foundation hosted its inaugural Care to Career Festival, an event set to become an annual fixture, growing in size and impact each year. In a world often focused on challenges, we wanted to highlight the positive paths taken by individuals who have grown up in care and demonstrate that their care experience does not define their future. The spotlight of our event was on sharing and celebrating the voices and stories of care-experienced individuals. Our aim was twofold: to celebrate the incredible journeys of these individuals and to raise awareness among our supporters about how we, as a community, can better support them.

The Cost of Living Crisis: It's More than just Money
มุมมอง 22ปีที่แล้ว
We're all feeling the effects of the Cost of Living Crisis. For our care-experienced young people, they have to decide if they can continue working because of travel costs or use that money to pay bills. It's a decision no one should have to make.

Expected to Live Independently with no money
มุมมอง 31ปีที่แล้ว
Care-experienced people have a lot on their plate when it comes to finances. When they are given social housing, they are expected to furnish it themselves, pay bills and provide for themselves with less support. This means making difficult decisions on whether to pay for food or travel to work. Close the Gap on this challenge by donating today: www.globalgiving.org/projects/closing-the-gap/
