#OneChangeManyLosses

Because one moment of change can reshape a child’s entire world.

 

Understanding Loss When a Child Enters Care

When a child enters care, it’s never just one change.
It’s a series of losses — some obvious, some hidden, all deeply felt.

Children in care often experience:

• The loss of familiar people, places, and routines
• The loss of identity or belonging
• The loss of control and certainty
• The loss of treasured objects, memories, and connections
• The loss of their place within family, school, and community

These losses can ripple through every part of a child’s life.
What may appear as one transition is, in reality, many losses happening all at once.

That’s why #OneChangeManyLosses exists — to bring these experiences into the spotlight, amplify children’s voices, and help others understand the emotional impact behind the word “care.”

 

But Loss Can Also Spark Growth

While those losses are real and often painful, many children show remarkable resilience.
With the right support, compassion, and opportunities, these same moments of upheaval can become the starting point for:

• Confidence
• Independence
• Emotional strength
• New relationships
• Skills and aspirations
• A deeper understanding of their own story

This is the heart of our second campaign: #GrowingAgainstTheOdds.

Where #OneChangeManyLosses shines a light on the challenges,
#GrowingAgainstTheOdds celebrates the courage, hope, and growth that can follow.

Together, the two campaigns show a full picture:
the truth of loss and the power of resilience.
