In Their Own Words: What Children Need
Sofia & Mia
South East"We come as a team. Mia gets scared at night so we need to share a room. We like drawing and swimming. Please don't separate us again."
Marcus
West Midlands"I act tough but I just want someone to show me how to cook. I want to go to art college. I need space to breathe and someone who won't give up on me after one bad day."
Chloe
Kent"I don't talk much at first. I just need good WiFi and a door I can close. I'm studying for my GCSEs. I don't need a 'mum', just a safe base where people don't argue."
Jordan
North West"I like building things with Lego and playing Minecraft. I want a family that has Sunday dinner together. I hope you have a garden."
Liam
London"I support Arsenal. I need a room where I can put my posters up without noise. I don't like shouting. If you have a dog that would be cool."
Amara & Kai
Yorkshire"Kai likes storytime and I like baking. We want a family that respects our heritage and helps us stay proud of who we are."
Daniel
East of England"I came to the UK alone. I work hard at college. I just need a mentor and a quiet desk so I can finish my BTEC qualifications."
Ruby
South West"I've moved three times in two years. I just want a bedroom where I can paint the walls and stay until I finish school."
