The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling

1997

A dramatisation of the 1749 novel by Henry Fielding, The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling (1997) recounts the adventures of foundling, Tom Jones, as he is taken in by the kind Squire Allworthy and then banished from the Allworthy estate and has a number of adventures, eventually ending up in London.

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
