WELCOME TO CARE LEAVERS CYMRU
Creating Belonging, Changing Systems, Improving Outcomes
A lived experience-led organisation working to improve outcomes for care-experienced children, young people and adults through community projects, training, advocacy and system change.
More Than Survival
Children and young people growing up in care often experience loss, instability and disrupted relationships. Too often, support focuses on systems and processes, rather than identity, belonging and long-term outcomes. At Care Leavers Cymru, we believe care-experienced children, young people and adults deserve more than survival. They deserve belonging, opportunity and people who never stop believing in them.

The Story Behind Care Leavers Cymru
Care Leavers Cymru was founded by Jayne Tanti, drawing on both lived and professional experience of the care system.
Having grown up in care, later becoming a foster carer, adopter and practitioner, Jayne understands the challenges many care-experienced children and young people face throughout their lives.
Care Leavers Cymru was created to improve outcomes, strengthen belonging, influence systems and ensure that care-experienced voices are heard, valued and included in shaping the services designed to support them.
Because every child deserves more than a service. They deserve relationships, opportunity, identity and a future filled with possibility.
