Matthew Henson

2001

This is the story of African American explorer Matthew Henson (1866-1955), who was orphaned as a young boy, then in kinship care for a while, and working as a cabin boy by the time he was 12. For more than 20 years, Henson accompanied Commander Robert Peary on expeditions to the Arctic.

 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.
