Surrey County Council are running a Private Care Experienced Careers Fair, taking place on Thursday, October 30 (9am to 5pm) at Woodhatch Place in Reigate.  It will feature a vibrant mix of lectures, stalls, and a panel discussion, all aimed at empowering and inspiring care-experienced young people.

How can I contribute?

Attendees will include young people aged 14 to 24, encompassing both older children in care and care leavers.

For local employers, there will be space for stalls both inside and outside the venue. Exhibitors and speakers will be provided a free lunch, as well as free hot drinks throughout the day.

Many young people have expressed a strong interest in developing life skills and independence, particularly around finance, employment, and personal development. If you feel you could contribute to these themes, the organisers would love to hear from you.

This event is a unique opportunity to engage with some of the most resilient, adaptable, and driven young people in our community. Too often, care-experienced individuals are overlooked, despite their remarkable ability to navigate challenges, embrace change, and pursue growth with determination.
