02 Activities
What the charity does
Comfort cases are rucksacks filled with essential and comfort items for children and young people entering the care system. Often children move with the clothes on their back or are given a black bin bag for their cherished belongings. We are working to end this practice whilst providing the essentials for a children and young people transitioning into, out of or moving around the care system.
