The Madlugger Blog

As part of our Love Without Limits Campaign that we are running in the lead up to Care Day 2021, we wanted to talk to different organisations who champion and support the incredible children in care. VOYPIC is the charity for children and young people with a lived experience of care in Northern Ireland.

We are very excited to announce the launch of Madlug Custom, a new way for you to design your own bespoke backpack.

By making a few simple choices, you can express your individuality while continuing to support the Madlug cause.

To our amazing friends, family, and followers, we send our very best wishes to you all at this difficult time.

There is no doubt that the last few weeks have been very challenging. Through this period, our mission remains the same: that no child should have to carry their life in a bin bag, and that every child in care is incredible.

At Madlug, we love to hear stories and firsthand accounts of those who have experiences of the care system. It reaffirms our belief that every child deserves value, worth and dignity - no matter what age they are - and how the smallest acts of goodness can make significant differences in the lives of others.

In this guest blog, Ian Dickson, a retired social worker, ofsted inspector, residential manager and children's rights advocate from England recounts his personal experience of being in care.
