Our Mission

Facilitating long-term Mentoring

Create the UK's first robust mentoring organisation providing work experience and networking for CEP.

Erasing Stigma

Reduce stigma of being care experienced by building an understanding of unique skills of CEP within the legal field. In turn, encouraging more CEP to pursue legal careers by breaking down barriers.

Improving life outcomes

Improve life outcomes for care-experienced people by facilitating and providing viable avenue avenues into sustainable legal careers.

Creating Community

Build a sense of community to build peer-support and engaging events for both care-experienced aspiring lawyers and lawyers who are care-experienced and wish to connect.

It’s important to empower young people and make them believe in themselves because there is a skill-set and unique strength in every single care-experienced person that’s waiting to be found. So why couldn’t it be found by lawyers? Why couldn’t it be us that supports them, makes them feel safe and makes them feel seen.
