I was born for this

Alice Oseman

2018

Teen novel about Angel Rahimi, a fan of The Ark, a hugely popular boy band and Jimmy Kaga-Rici, the band's front man. Jimmy has been in kinship care with his grandfather since he was 8 years old

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
