SHOW US YOU CARE TOO
Welcome to the Shine a Light Project
This is a dedicated space where we celebrate, honour, and remember care-experienced individuals who are no longer with us. Their stories, lives, and legacies matter deeply. Together, let's shine a light on their memories and ensure they are never forgotten.
If you have just a name, or want to share a persons story, all contributions are welcome.

"The Shine a Light project is brilliant, deeply moving and absolutely necessary .Life expectancy for those with care experience should be a cause of deep national shame but is barely mentioned. The failure of the state to honour and remember their departed children, young people and care experienced adults is reflective of the states failure to be good enough parent at so many important life stages. The power and persistence of memory is vividly bought to bear on this site and allows those who keep their memory alive a space to celebrate those we have lost and their brilliant, but too short, lives."

The way you honour people here is gentle and powerful.
