Wolverhampton exhibition showcases artworks of people in care

The exhibition, which includes paintings of celebrities, biological family reunion photos and a drawing of a McDonald’s meal, was officially opened by Wolverhampton’s mayor, councillor Craig Collingswood, on Saturday.

Ms Vickers hopes it will give people a “better, rounded understanding of how care-experienced minds work”.

“They’re just like everybody else… we’re not some alien race,” she said. “Really all they need is a Happy Meal and to have a little pet with them and play football.

“I wished I’d have had something like this when I was younger, it would have made a world of difference.”
