As an ex-foster carer for Bristol City Council I have experienced children either arriving at my house with a few belongings in a plastic bag or with nothing – CUBs is inspiring others to bring dignity and hope to looked after children.

It’s really important for children to have the best possible start in life, so it’s great that CUBs can help improve the lives of looked after children.

All Children should feel cared for and CUBS helps to provide that at a particularly vulnerable time in the lives of looked after children.

CUBs are filled with essentials that every child should own, but they are so much more than that. They are filled with care and love for looked after children to help make them feel more secure.

I became a trustee of CUBs as the ethos behind it really struck a chord with me. We want to provide comfort and love to children going into foster care and our bags are designed to do just that.
