Mace turns ‘red’ for children in care and young care leavers🔴❤️ On Thursday 13 March, Mace colleagues, clients and supply chain partners supported our charity partner Become by turning ‘red’ for the day to raise funds for the thousands of children in care and care-experienced young people. ❓Did you know last year in England 13,050 young people left care on their 18th birthday. These young people often lack the family support that many of us take for granted. They face a tough transition to independence, often too quickly and without the right support. Imagine being made to leave care on your 18th birthday – that’s a harsh reality for many. Our ‘Go Red’ for Become campaign, not only raised funds but also helped us to learn more about what it’s like to be in care and hear from care-experienced young people. Understanding their stories helps us bust myths and raise awareness. Mace colleagues and projects around the world literally turned red for the day from wearing red to work to lighting up Mace projects including Chapter Living, Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 & 4, HMRC Newcastle Pilgrims Quarter, Manchester Town Hall, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Peterborough Court, Sadler’s Wells and Salisbury Square Development. We believe in the power of community and the importance of showing that we care. So far, this year, we have donated/raised over £100,000 to Become, if you would like to help us reach our £1m target of supporting care experience young people, you can donate here: 🔗https://lnkd.in/dUfxfQE4. #Become #CareExperienced #MaceFoundation #GoRed #MaceGroup Photo credit: HMRC Newcastle Pilgrims Quarter – LAWRENSON & GREBBY PHOTOGRAPHY LLP Manchester Town Hall and Manchester Foundation Trust Hospital – Richard Storey
