At The For Baby’s Sake Trust, we are committed to breaking the cycles of trauma and domestic abuse that affect generations. Today, on #CareDay 2025, we are proud to announce the launch of our For My Future pilot programme, a trauma-informed therapeutic approach to support #CareExperienced young people to develop healthy relationships for life. A driving force for this work is the significant lack of support for emotional health and wellbeing for #YoungPeople leaving care. It is preventative, not reactive—an opportunity to address trauma and empower young people with the knowledge and skills to foster healthy #Relationships. Our flagship programme, For Baby’s Sake, has demonstrated remarkable success in empowering parents to address domestic abuse and give their babies the best start in life. Through this work, we’ve seen the transformative power of therapeutic relationships to address trauma and break cycles of abuse. For My Future builds on our experience working with many care-experienced young parents—to extend our support to a wider cohort of care-experienced young people—empowering them to build healthy relationships and navigate adulthood with confidence.

We support #CareDay and created BWASO to show everyone in care that there are people who care about your future. There are no barriers to success. Whatever you dream, you can achieve. You are capable, you matter, and you will shine. @PaoloHewitt1 @PaulAndersonWa2 @Become1992

⚠️ 18+ miles is the distance a child in care is moved, on average, from the people and places they know. 🚨 It doesn’t have to be this way. ⬇️ Join our campaign #GoneTooFar to keep children close to people & places that matter to them. BecomeCharity.org.uk/Gone-To…

Councils are treating teenagers like homeless adults and placing them in unsuitable temporary housing rather than taking them into care. Local authorities are “waiting out the clock” until vulnerable 16- and 17-year-olds can be classed as adults. theguardian.com/society/2024…

It’s hard to take this post seriously when we’ve been talking about reform in the care system since before I was born. It’s been just TWO years since the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care was published promising “once in a lifetime” reform. SHOW us this is different.
We are breaking down barriers to opportunity. For years, the children’s social care system has been neglected. That ends now. We are reforming it, so every child across the country has better chances in life.

Wonderful to see a repeat of this today (even if Nov is a bit early for my taste) with @lemnsissay talking powerfully about his own experience of growing up in care and his important work with @tcdhackney + other orgs supporting care leavers at Christmas: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001g56…

Bitterly disappointing to see this soft-touch approach to ending profiteering in the care system. Asking providers to 'voluntarily limit' profits (when cost of one child in care can exceed £1m p/a) assumes a level of trust never earned. Gov is either naive or complicit.
The harm done to vulnerable children by privatisation is finally recognised: Overhaul of children’s social care in England will crack down on firms’ profiteering theguardian.com/society/2024…

This hothouse earth will quickly break tipping points into 4C and 5C. That's civilisation's end game, and we're bang on track for it. How will you live your life in these last moments? In community and resistance or individual nihilism? That's the choice.
