V4C

V4C (Voices 4 Choices) is the Lincolnshire Children & Young People in Care and Care Leavers Council.

V4C helps to speak up for children and young people in care and care leavers in Lincolnshire. It helps make change happen where needed.

What you can expect from being part of V4C

We meet as a group and are involved in various projects to help make important changes to the lives of children and young people with care experience.

V4C isn’t just about working to help make Children’s Services better. You get to do some great activities, meet new people and make new friends.

Activities include:

• sharing views with senior managers and elected officials so they know what is important to use when making decisions
• giving our views to services about the work they do and how they could help us
• helping to plan our annual FAB! Awards ceremony for children and young people in care
• reviewing the Caring Promise, a list of promises that Lincolnshire County Council make to help children and young people in care

Free food, drink and transport is provided along with fun activities and rewards for taking part. There is also V4C merch, including Hoodies!

Meetings

We have face to face meetings throughout the year, during Lincolnshire school holidays. We have a meeting in the morning, then food and drink, followed by fun activities in the afternoon.

We also have online meetings at times.

*Online meeting links will be sent nearer the time.

Join us

We are aways recruiting, and welcome new young people aged 11+ and are always listening.
