Our Story
About Us
The Care Leaders Fellowship was founded on the belief that individuals with personal experience of the care system and professionals who work within it should collaborate closely to address the social issues faced by care-experienced people. We believe that by working shoulder to shoulder, these two groups can drive meaningful and lasting change.
For the past 11 years, The Care Leaders have served as consultants to children's social care, observing firsthand that the most successful projects always involved a mix of lived and professional expertise. These projects were driven by individuals equipped with the relevant skills and given a platform with the appropriate power to author change.
Recognising the potential of such collaborations, we established the Care Leaders Fellowship. This programme is a dedicated space where leaders from both backgrounds can come together to develop their leadership skills and work as a cohesive team. Our comprehensive 12-month programme nurtures empathy, ignites entrepreneurial spirit, and equips participants with the tools needed to develop solutions to the social issues impacting care-experienced individuals.
At the Care Leaders Fellowship, we are committed to fostering a supportive community of leaders who are passionate about making a difference. By combining lived and professional experiences, we strive to create impactful and sustainable solutions for the care experience sector.
