National Care Leavers Month – Brand assets plus programme of events

Please note: This article has been updated to reflect a published programme of events for National Care Leavers Month 2025.

We are getting closer and closer to the inaugural National Care Leavers Month (NCLM)! Just in case you’ve (somehow) missed it, we will be celebrating the achievements of care experienced individuals, for not just a week, but for the entirety of November!

This year’s theme is ‘Rising As Me: Overcoming challenges, transforming, and finding your identity’. It speaks to the resilience that care experienced individuals show every day and also honours the personal growth and transformation that their journeys have inspired (and will continue to inspire).

We hope you can use the theme to:

Celebrate care leavers and care experienced individuals

Amplify their voices

Raise awareness of challenges

Encourage change in policy and practice

To help you do that, we’re delighted to share the co-produced social media assets and logo for the first-ever National Care Leavers Month below.

Also to help you do that, we have started collating all of the fantastic events and more that will be happening during NCLM. Please read on to see what’s happening!

Logo and Brand Assets

The new logo and branding have been co-produced by the Alliance for Children in Care and Care Leavers (you may have already seen a glimpse of this with the new National Care Leavers Month logo that we introduced earlier this month).

The Alliance has created a Canva folder with various designs and templates (including the logo, social media templates, and an email signature strip) for anyone that would like to advertise their events in support of National Care Leavers Month – just click here.  (To use it, click ‘View template’ and then ‘Open in Editor’.)

If you are unable to use Canva, please do not worry. Please click on the following links instead to download the files for use in your promotion:

If you need a different format, please get in touch with us via nlcbf@catch-22.org.uk.
