Care Day (17 February) is an international celebration of children in care which has taken place annually since 2015, run by national care charity Become.
During the event, care charities from across the UK, including Become, Empowering People In Care (EPIC), Voices of Young People in Care, Who Cares? Scotland, and Voices From Care Cymru, come together to celebrate care-experienced young people.
This year, Become’s theme is “what I want you to #KnowAboutCare”, and charities, campaigners and young people have shared experiences of being in care on social media, and what they would like the public to know about care.
Last year, the theme was “together we create community”, and events included a poetry link-up event, held on Become’s virtual social space for young people across the UK.
