'Julia'

Name: 'Julia'
Age: 20
Year of the Fix: 2019
Location: Buckinghamshire
Campaign: To raise the aspirations of people growing up in care

I was taken into care when I was 13 because I was being neglected by my parents.

 

I found it diffcult to trust my foster parents, but they were patient and believed in me.

 

My friends and I decided to do something to raise the aspirations of other young people growing up in care.

 

We want people to know what opportunities are out there for them. They can break down the barriers they believe are in their way.

 

I hope the badges we have created give these people hope.

This project was funded by Buckinghamshire Community Foundation.
