‘To be with others who’ve gone through similar experiences really resonates’
All of us who celebrate Christmas have our own ways of marking the day. Whether it's family traditions, watching a particular film or visiting certain people or places. OK! spoke to five people about their unique festivities.
Growing up, it was a stressful, upsetting time of year for me because I was living in care. I resented Christmas and what it stands for. It was the idea of a nurse called Sian Thomas who, while working in child protection, met lots of young people who’d spent time in care. The system means that once they reach 18, they’re expected to live independently, despite having childhood trauma and no support network. It’s hard to understand how tough that is if you haven’t experienced it.
It spurred Sian to help and the following year, she put together a team of 20 volunteers who set about raising money and inviting care leavers to join them.
