The Black Care Experience Residential
Part funded by the Rayne Foundation, we're super excited to share that over 5 days and 4 nights, our first ever Residential will be taking place on the 10th - 14th August 2026 for Black Children and Young People in Care (Foster Care or Residential Children’s Home) who are age 10 - 16.
Please note: Black we define as a Child and Young Person whose Ethnic Origin is either African, Caribbean including Mixed Race with African or Caribbean Heritage.
There'll be fun filled activities such as Climbing Wall, Waterfall/Gorge Walk, Archery, Bushcraft, Orienteering and Cooking to:
build confidence
increase social skills
develop leadership abilities
strengthen teamwork skills
There’ll be engaging workshops that focus on Culture, Identity and Heritage and we'll be tackling real issues like exploitation, grooming, drug misuse and knife crime to build their knowledge on how to keep themselves safe.
We'll also have in-house Therapeutic Practitioners on hand to provide emotional support.
At the end of the Residential a Report will be issued to the Booking Corporate Parent (which includes Foster Carers and Residential Children’s Home Staff), with any concerns and positive outcomes, to aid their learning in how to support and meet the needs of the Black Child or Young Person in their care.
