What’s on this October for Wirral care leavers
There’s plenty happening for care leavers this October, from food and social activities to health support, employment advice and a chance to get outdoors.

🎄 Looking ahead to Christmas
Planning is also beginning for Christmas, with colleagues and teams across Wirral being asked to help make the festive period special for our young people.
There are several ways adults and teams can support, including Christmas Elf volunteering, helping with festive preparations, gifts and activities; Christmas Day support, helping young people feel connected and remembered; and the Corporate Secret Santa, where individuals or whole teams can provide gifts and festive support for young people. Secret Santa gifts have a maximum value of £50.
Anyone interested in getting involved can complete the Christmas 2026 form included in the original invitation.
💙 Keep checking the Care Experience Hub
We'll continue sharing activities, opportunities, support and good news for care-experienced young people in Wirral.
And remember, achievements don't have to be huge to matter. Every step forward is worth celebrating.
