“This is my safe space”

Volunteering and working with an organisation that supports those leaving care, Pauline shows how support and connection can turn survival into purpose.

Whether it’s writing or speaking, Pauline shows us the power of words to make change in the world. Pauline passionately uses her voice to advocate for care experienced people. She challenges stigma, campaigns for support and takes us inside Who Cares? Scotland to find out more.

“I wanted to let care experienced people know that they have a voice and they should be listened to. I feel proud of being an advocate of Who Cares? Scotland – they are a really strong, sincere and supportive community. I’m also glad that people can get support from Future Pathways, wherever you are on your journey.”
