Rocket's Island

2012

Rocket’s Island (2012-2015) is a British tv series created by Nick Leather and filmed in North Wales & on the Isle of Man.

The Bouslworth family live on an idyllic island and run Knot Farm. They also care for foster children who stay with them.

Rocket Boulsworth (Joe Gallucci) is the youngest member of the family and he and his sister Alli have many adventures with the foster children in their family’s care.

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
