Crazy Diamonds

Rosie Canning

2015

But We All Shine On The Remarkable Orphans of Burbank Children’s Home by Paolo Hewitt. Paolo represents his care leavers as unique people, as successes, as people with such depth and humanity that the words slice into their broken childhoods and create alchemical healing and wholeness. His characters share their stories, each one a hero; finding love, finding peace, finding themselves. And in amongst the chaos, is that diamond, Paolo himself, sharing his memories about his brothers, sharing his sadness and humour, sharing his insights into his own life and his own difficulties – made just a little easier by his relationship with God. He is a seasoned writer, having written over twenty books, spanning music, fashion, sport and memoir. All his loves are interwoven into the musical score of this hard rock homelife, that flutuates with melodic yearnings and a creates an unforgettable refrain.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
