Story
Ashurst has partnered up with Who Cares? Scotland in 2021.
Over 90% of children are taken into care because of neglect and abuse. The care system then removes them from their siblings, relatives, friends, schools, and neighbourhoods, causing more trauma. Care experienced children can face consistently poorer outcomes in mental health, employment, end up in the criminal justice system and are more likely to die younger than other disadvantaged groups. Care Experienced people can feel excluded by their communities and experience stigma and discrimination: This is largely due to lack of public knowledge and understanding of care.
At Ashurst we want to help break the stigma we are committed to help show that with positive relationships and support, Care Experienced people can thrive. Any money we raise will be going to support Care Experienced people and help Who Cares? Scotland achieve a Lifetime of Equality, respect and Love for Care Experienced people.
