Rees Ambassadors
Alison Poole
I am a care experienced person, having been placed into foster care at the age of 13 until leaving to live independently at the age of 17. I became an ambassador as I strongly believe its important for CEP of any age to not just be able to access practical support but also the emotional support that can be gained by linking with people who share similar experiences. |

I want to help care experienced people and support them. All the values and ethics I believe in, Rees Foundation reflects it in their work.
