Young people from our Children in Care Council got together at Readipop studio in Reading to record their first ever podcast! Through their voices, we hear their experiences of being in care and why it’s so important for us to find more foster carers in Reading, so our local children and young people can stay in the area, where they belong.
A huge thank you to Readipop, a local music and arts charity, who kindly donated their studio time and editing skills to help us create this. You can read more about the making of our podcast here.
