The Together Trust is looking forward to contributing to a new anthology, Free Loaves on Fridays. It will include poems, letters, and reflections from care experienced people, providing a safe and inclusive space for known and unknown writers to choose how their stories are told.

Rebekah Pierre will be editing the anthology. Rebekah is a writer, social worker, and campaigner who aims to raise the voices of the unheard through a powerful anthology of essays by 15 care-experienced writers.

Children and young people in the care of the Together Trust will have the opportunity to be involved in this powerful project once the initial costs of publishing have been reached. We’ll stay in touch and let you know of opportunities as they arise.

To find more information about the anthology and pledge money to support Rebekah’s project, head to her crowdfunding page.

“We are looking forward to working with Rebekah on this anthology. It is an excellent opportunity for children and young people in our care to get involved by sharing their stories and experiences.”
