The Princess of Wales visited the Foundling Museum in London
Kate heard moving stories from young people at the Museum
She also heard from Bez, who came to the UK from Iran as a teenager and was placed in care after claiming asylum. Now a father of two, he works as an artist’s assistant at the Museum, helping to teach other young people. The Foundling Museum offers young care-leavers two traineeships each year, an eight-month course in art and a four-month course in creative writing. Trainees are referred by their social workers or charities working with those leaving care and go on to teach family workshops at the Museum and help to teach others coming through the programme.
Ryan Lynch, a church pastor and father of two adopted sons, now aged 23 and 21, told her: "Children coming out of the care system have come from very difficult backgrounds. They are children who need a huge amount of support and looking after. It’s an ongoing story." Kate also met trustees and supports of the Foundling Museum including the artist Grayson Perry as the charity launched a public appeal to raise the final £1million of the £4.6million needed to secure its long-term home near the site of the original Foundling Hospital.The Hospital was the UK's first children’s charity and was founded in 1739 with the support of prominent artists as a home for children whose mothers couldn't keep or care for them.
The songwriter's grandmother got up extra early to have her hair done before being introduced to Kate at a support group session for kinship carers in London.
