Jackie Kay was born in Edinburgh to a Scottish mother and a Nigerian father but was adopted by a white Scottish couple.

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.
