Meet the Team

We are the young people from across England and Scotland that make up Care Leavers National Movement. We are strong individually but even stronger as a collective group of young people changing the narrative for children in care and leaving care, from what is often a negative one to one that is resourceful, strong and positive. We come together from across 13 Local Authorities with 13 proud Local House Projects within them. Our founders created CLNM and together with our representatives and champions with run CLNM.
