'The Run' to Spark Conversations about Foster Care
Surrey County Council aims to spark meaningful conversations about fostering through 'The Run', a powerful two-minute film portraying a young person's journey through care.
The short film focuses on 'Tom', an 11-year-old boy facing neglect, emotional stress, and vulnerability to exploitation.
Through the support of a foster family and social care system, Tom begins to experience stability, encouragement, and belonging.
Ultimately, Tom's path is transformed from running away to running toward opportunity.
A partnership project led by CAN Digital, involving over 90 local authorities, developed the emotionally raw film.
