Our Shoes is a lived-experience training programme, co-designed and delivered by young people. It helps professionals better understand the realities of young people’s lives and how to offer more effective, compassionate support.

Current training topics include:

  • Young Carers
  • Young people from diverse backgrounds
  • Additional Needs & Disabilities (AND)
  • LGBTQ+ experiences
  • Care-experienced young people and care leavers

As a trainer, you’ll:

  • Share your lived experience to shape meaningful training
  • Build confidence, skills, and experience for your CV
  • Meet other inspiring young people
  • Be paid for the training you deliver

If you’re a carer and want to help professionals better understand and support young people like you, we’d love you to get involved.
