Who Cares? Scotland’s Members’ Newsletter
Every month we send out a digital newsletter called Newsflash to our members. However, we know that not all of our members will have an email account or access to the internet. That’s why we are including a roundup of important headlines from the last couple of months and sharing them again, here in SpeakOut, so you don’t miss out! If you haven’t been receiving NewsFlash but have a working email address, just email membership@ whocaresscotland.org and we’ll update your details.

Our First In-Person Advocacy Conference in 2 years
On 28th April, Who Cares? Scotland advocates from all across the country came together to take part in our Advocacy Conference.
Those who came along shared knowledge from their own experiences of providing advocacy and discussed best practices to ensure the advocacy services we provide going forward are the best they can possibly be.
AGM Minutes Published
In February we held our 2022 AGM, where you, our members, had the chance to vote on some important changes to the organisation.
The minutes of the meeting are available now on The Board page on our website.
The Young Person’s Guarantee
We have been hearing the opinions of young Care Experienced people on the Young Person’s Guarantee – the Scottish Government’s commitment to ensuring education and work opportunities for young people – to help ensure that the voice and rights of the Care Experienced community are included.
Who Cares? Scotland: What Next?
For over 40 years, since we started in 1978, Who Cares? Scotland has supported Care Experienced people, fighting for a lifetime of equality respect and love. Much of the work we have done has been about rights and amplifying the voices of people we support, and we think it is vital you have a say in the way we operate.
That’s why at the start of May we launched our new campaign: Who Cares? Scotland: What Next? which gave you and others we have supported in the past the opportunity to have a say in how our organisation should work going forward.
Our survey was open throughout the month, thank you to everyone who took the time to complete it. Contributions will be used to influence our new strategic plan which we will be launching in October.
