Can you help support young care experienced people in Clydebank.

The Champions Board meet every fortnight at the Y-Sort it base in Clydebank (5 West Thomson Street, Clydebank. G813EA). The group runs from 5.30pm-7pm. The group consist of 6/7 regular attendees aged between 11-21. We provide food and an activity or game at each session and talk about their experiences in care. The groups are planned roughly between 4-6 weeks in advance and at times, there will be asks from different organisations to do consultations with the group although notice should be given in advance. The main aim is to have fun and getting to know each other well enough to have these types of conversations and making it a safe space for the members and encouraging them to make change around care experience in West Dunbartonshire
