At the time of referral, Rose was 15 years old and had been care-experienced for around 18 months. She had already completed a successful long-term period of Creative Mentoring with her Creative Mentor Amanda – this had seen Rose’s confidence blossom and so it was decided to continue with their work together, with the hope of supporting Rose into potential career/volunteering opportunities that aligned with her passion of animals.
