What inspires someone to become the kind of social worker they wish
Put up your hands for Care Day - Friday 19 February 2027 – Join Us
We are the charity for children and young people with a lived experience of care in Northern Ireland.
We’re the only charity in Northern Ireland dedicated to making sure that the voices of children and young people in care are heard and their rights are respected.
Our Vision is simple: To ensure that every child feels safe, valued and loved, and that every young person leaving care does so with dignity and respect, and thrives into adulthood.
Life in care can be full of questions. We’re here to help you find answers, and to make sure you feel supported – for example with a VOYPIC advocate.
We’ve lots of ways to help you connect with other young people in care, share your experience and have fun too!
Your voice can help create real change for yourself and other young people in care. So make yourself heard!
We’re always working on ways to ensure that the voice of young people in care is heard loud and clear! You can contact us via email or phone one of our offices in Ballymena, Belfast, Derry-Londonderry or Lurgan.
Here are some of the people who make up the VOYPIC team. Feel free to get in touch. We’re a friendly bunch!
Care Day is the world’s biggest celebration of children and young people with lived experience of care. It’s an opportunity to get together, raise awareness and showcase your talents! Click to find out more.
Show Us You Care is a major document created not by care professionals but by young people in care. It sets out changes you’d like to see to make life better for all.
We’re the only Northern Ireland charity dedicated to making sure the voices of children and young people in care are heard, and their rights are respected. We’ve been doing that for over 30 years now, and we’re still working to make things better for young people in care today.

Our mission is to promote the rights and voice of children in care and care leavers. We want every child in care to have a safe, stable, and positive experience of care, and to be involved in decisions about their life. We need your help to make this happen.
A VOYPIC Advocate is an independent qualified person who’s on your side, who’ll speak up for you, involve you in all decisions about your care and act on your behalf.
