Right Resolution CIC

Fatima Whitbread, an Olympic javelin thrower. Spent around the first 14 years of her life in care.
After more than 30 years after her Olympic journey, she is now using that same drive into advocating for children’s rights. Fatima is now an ambassador for Action for Children and has started her own campaign called Fatima’s UK Campaign.

As part of her campaign, she wants to help encourage Care Experienced young people to use sports and arts as a positive outlet, just like she did when she was younger.

‘Growing up in children’s homes was hard, and leaving care is a frightening time. However, I’ve made a reasonably good success of it and I’ve spoken to lots of care experienced people who have made a success of it too. There is hope out there, and we’ve got you’ - Fatima Whitbread
