Arts Project
We believe that creative expression can be instrumental not only in the recovery process from trauma but in exploring identity and having your voice heard. It can also be great fun!
The Rees Foundation Arts Project is an ever evolving, exciting project encouraging anyone with care experience to become involved.

The Care Experienced Poetry Book
​PART 2

You may remember our previous digital poetry book project in 2022, which was so popular... we’re bringing it back!

We’re launching the 2025 Rees Digital Poetry Book and we’d love for you to be a part of it.

This project is for care leavers only and we’re looking for creative writing to include in the book. When the book is complete, you’ll be able to view and share it online!

You can pick from four different categories; 
1. Who am I 
2. Proving people wrong
3. Family 
4. My biggest achievement

Your writing should be up to 400 words long and you can write about anything related to one of the four sections mentioned above. If you’d like to remain anonymous, just let us know.

Rees is here to help you along the way, so if you need any additional help or support to enter, please get in touch with us by emailing [email protected]. You will find our previous book below, in case you need some inspiration!

The deadline for your writing will be 30th September 2024, and in order to submit your work, you just need to email it into [email protected].​

The Care Experienced Poetry Book
​Digital version

We are delighted to present the Care Experienced Poetry Book!

The Rees Foundation invited care experienced individuals to contribute poetry to a digital book.

We had some personal and amazing pieces of writing that we put together - the result is a truly inspirational digital book.

Celebrating Everyday People

We're Celebrating Everyday People - care experienced people! We've got some pieces of writing from care experienced people about their passions in life and they can be big or small!

Would you like to write something for our Celebrating Everyday People campaign? We're looking for care experienced people to write about a big achievement, or something they're proud of.

It can be about absolutely anything, and always, you can remain anonymous if you'd prefer. Just send over your writing to [email protected].
