Join us as we showcase the impact of our 'My Things Matter' campaign and the work we're doing to end the use of bin bags as luggage in care.
About this Event

NYAS Cymru will showcase the impact of our campaign “My Things Matter” which aims to improve support and respect for care-experienced children and their belongings when they move in care across England and Wales, and stop the use of bin bags in the moving process. We will share our partnership approaches with local authorities, and we will hear from Madlug, who have provided over 1,000 free bags to children and young people in care in Wales.

Speakers will include; young people, Minister for Children and Social Care, Children’s Commissioner for Wales, NYAS CEO Rita Waters and Madlug CEO Dave Linton.

Come and join us to see how you can help make a difference.
