James - young trustee

James

Young trustees

My role as a young trustee is to help voice what young people think and believe in. I want to see a future where young people are more accepted and appreciated for the work they do and not pushed aside. This is what motivates me to do the work I do with The Children's Society. 

To me hope means looking for a better tomorrow that eventually things will work out. Hope is important because sometimes you need a little something to help inspire you to keep going and fighting for what you believe in

As a Young Trustee, I hope to offer insight into problems from a young person's perspective. I I hope to get the opportunity to grow on my personal skills and make positive change. Hope to me is seeing room for change and having the desire to change it.It's also about being optimistic so you are able to dream for a bigger and better future.

Rose

Young Trustee

As a care experienced public speaker, mentor, trainer and former Young Trustee at a different organisation.. As a woman who wears many hats, I am dedicating my time and skills to push for positive changes within Children’s Social Care, and steadily removing the stigmas faced by many of the children and young people within it. I believe that being a foster child should not be a sentence, but a stepping stone towards a fulfilling life and hopes that my own story can inspire others.

Hope to me is the belief that there is more and better to look forward to, the motivation to keep on going.
