Being around people who understand us can make our lives feel better:
to feel listened to, connected and proud of who we are.
Embrace is a new community of care-experienced people coming together to share support, understanding and to celebrate the Care community in Fife.
Let’s build it together.
You are our family.
Families don’t always get it right but what’s important is that we keep talking, keep trying and that we are there for each other.
We have made a commitment to you and we are going to keep it.
Embrace is a community of care-experienced people:
A family. Here for you.
Your voice creates change.
You may not know it, but you are a life-changing expert.
Sharing your own experiences of Care can help change the lives of others, for the better.
Embrace is here to help your voice be heard and shared with the people who need to hear it most.
Wherever you are, we are here.
You’ve been on a journey.
But that doesn’t mean you are on your own.
Embrace is a place for children, young people and adults to come together with others from the care-experienced community who understand your journey, where you are now and can help you get to where you want to go.
We are family.
We are the same as any other family.
We are wonderfully diverse.
We are all different in our own way, but held together by our experience of care.
Whatever age, whatever stage, whatever time, We are here.
We are Embrace.
Whatever you call it – family, kinship, clan or community – you are part of one.
As members of the care-experienced community we belong, and are stronger, together:
for each other and for ourselves.
Embrace is a community-based family who are here to support one another, to celebrate our achievements and to provide a strong voice for Care in Fife.
We'd like to hear from you
This journey is only beginning and we would like you to be part of it.
To build the best community, we need to share our experiences. Everybody should have a say and everyone will be listened to.
Whether you have a story you feel would help someone else in the care-experience community, if you have a view on how Caring in Fife could improve, or if you'd like to be directly involved we want to hear from you.
This community will be better by including you.
