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 different Local Authorities with Local House Projects. Our founders created CLNM and together with our representatives and champions run CLNM.
