From Care To Where? — Christel Dee

Conversations with inspirational care leavers

From Care To Where? is a podcast I created in 2020. Each episode features a different care experienced person, including an international diplomat, a rapper that performed at Glastonbury and an Olympic medallist.

I wanted to address the lack of positive role models for care leavers by showcasing the incredible achievements of those who, like me, grew up in local authority care. I also wanted to address public misconceptions about care leavers and provide an insight into the variety of experiences out there.
