Promoting the importance of relationships across the care experienced community.

Welcome to The Why Not? Trust

"The Why Not? Trust gives me opportunities that I would never have dreamed of doing." - Amber, Young Adult

At the Why Not? Trust, we believe in the power of meaningful relationships for those with experience of care. We started by supporting young people moving on from care and have now expanded our focus to help people at all stages of life, especially when they become parents or students.

We do this by:

Supporting Wellbeing: We promote positive relationships and celebrate the strengths of care-experienced individuals. We create opportunities to help everyone thrive.

Building Communities: We foster supportive spaces where people can connect. Here, you can ask for help or offer support to others without fear of stigma or discrimination.

Encouraging Learning: We use positive storytelling to highlight challenges and promote good practices. We believe everyone has the power to create change and honour our commitment to Keep the Promise.
