“I work with 4- to 16-year-olds in our ‘To Care is To Do’ children in care program, and also with 16- to 25-year-olds in our program for care leavers. A lot of the young people I work with wouldn’t have the opportunities that we give them, so it’s great to know we’re making a positive difference in their lives. Of course, it can be difficult. At first, a lot of the children don’t want anything to do with the idea of being looked after. But I start by doing something fun with them, and when they come back, we can gradually build up a supportive relationship.”
