Small Steps Big Future

About Small Steps…

For the past few years the Personal Advisors’ team at Conwy have held the ambition to produce a website, with care leavers for care leavers. In 2020 we had the opportunity through a small pot of Integrated Care Funding (ICF) to be able to start developing a site.

We are very grateful to our ‘Web Guy’ (look him up on the Team page), Alan Thompson, for constructing this great site for us and guiding the team very patiently so we could bring this website to you. The Virtual Personal Advisor, if you like!

Why Small Steps Big Future? The name came from a piece of work we did with a group of Care Leavers a while ago, looking at apprenticeships and work pathways. The title ‘Small Steps big future’ was thought up during the day and seemed appropriate to use now. This is what we hope this website helps you do, take small steps and build a big, bright future for you all.

This isn’t the end of the story though! What’s really important is that this website, the content, topics, blogs, videos…all of it, belongs to you, so that you can easily find all the information you need on a range of topics from accommodation to zumba classes! To do this we need you to get involved in any and all aspects of the website to make sure it’s up-to-date, relevant and helpful. We are passing the baton to you to keep the website alive and fresh for future generations of care leavers.

Whether you want to write a blog, add a video on practical tips or a new recipe, or you have an eye for detail and design; whether you can post something as a one-off or want to commit time every week… YOUR WEBSITE NEEDS YOU!
