We are excited to support EPIC (empowering people in care) with the creation of a series of videos and resources to raise awareness of LGBTI+ young people in care.

We are looking for LGBTI+ young people (over 18 years) with experience of being in care to join the Advisory Group.

What to expect:

• The Advisory Group will meet over the course of 3 evenings and one full day.

• Food and refreshments will be provided.
