This World Care Day, we’re shining a light on the unique stories of young people in care.
With the 2025 theme, “Celebrating Every Journey,” we honour the different paths each person in care may take, recognising that no two stories are the same. From personal achievements to moments of resilience, this day is about celebrating every young person in care, their achievements, their strength and their story.
Join us as we #SnapThatStigma and show the world the strength, courage, and success. Together, we can create a future where every voice is heard.
To celebrate World Care Day 2025, we want to hear from YOU! Whether you’re currently in care or a care alumni, this is your chance to share your journey and achievements with the world.
We’re launching a campaign where you can submit your story of growth, resilience, or any milestone you’re proud of. You can share your story in any way that feels right for you—whether it’s a video, a piece of artwork, or written content. Your story will be featured on CREATE’s website and social media, inspiring others and helping us #SnapThatStigma.
