Care leavers week; shining a light on care leavers, challenging stigma and creating opportunities
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is shining a light on care leavers this National Care Leavers’ Week by lighting up Bridlington Spa blue.
National Care Leavers’ Week runs 28 October to 3 November, and Bridlington Spa will be lit up blue in recognition of care leavers.
The council wants to highlight how people, organisations and communities can all help care leavers – young people aged 16 to 25 who have been in local authority care.
