Declan’s story really hits home. His honesty and strength in sharing such a personal journey is inspiring. Proud to support @SCCRCentre through #CashBackForCommunities, this is exactly why the work matters. 💙
💬 'Conflict doesn’t mean a family is broken – it means there’s room to grow.' Declan, who recently started work @cyrenians as a Family Outreach Worker, blogs for SCCR. A care-experienced person, he now helps others navigate family conflict.
