Member News: Fair Ways’ Care Leavers Appeal Reaches Record-Breaking Success

​Fair Ways is proud to celebrate the incredible success of this year’s Care Leavers Appeal, which has reached its biggest milestone yet. Thanks to the generosity and community spirit of supporters across Hampshire, we have packed 180 bags, our highest total to date.

This marks a powerful increase from last year’s 110 bags, and more than double the 60–70 bags collected in our first year. Each bag represents a small act of kindness that will make a meaningful difference to a young person stepping into independence this Christmas.

Many care leavers face the painful reality of packing their belongings into plastic bin bags when moving on from care. As advocates against this practice, Fair Ways proudly upholds its commitment that no child will ever leave one of our services with their belongings in a black plastic bin bag.

This year, we were once again supported by the incredible team at Madlug, an award-winning bag brand that helps give dignity to children in care. Their ethos “Because no child should carry their life in a bin bag”, perfectly mirrors our own mission, and we are deeply grateful for their continued partnership.
