A maximum of 10 trainees per year can apply to join the programme. Sessions are co-produced with the alumni group and led by professional artists. Past workshops have included jewellery design, candle and perfume making, upcycling and woodwork, alongside employment-focused workshops covering CV writing and money management.
Almuni members form a close bond with the Museum, even collaborating with the staff team to ensure contemporary care-experienced voices are present within the Museum collection and our exhibitions. By celebrating the voices of the young care leavers we work with, we strive to bridge the gap between past and present, demonstrating the relevance of the Foundling Hospital’s narratives today.
I like keeping connected to the history of the Foundling Museum and how it’s shaped my own reality and start in life.
