Peregrina Sails

Elana Connor

2017

Elana Connor has been solo sailing since 2017 to increase global awareness of foster care.

Her goal is to remind the world that children & young people in foster & other forms of state care are “capable of unlimited achievements”.

You can read more about Elana’s intentions & adventures here on her website.

She even has a recipe for making a potato salad while at sea! And what to do when there’s a pandemic and borders close!

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

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
