Lights. Camera. Traction. — A Landmark Celebration of Inclusion, Belonging, and Two Years of Impact

The Susan Vickers Foundation today announces Lights, Camera, Traction — a major milestone event unveiling a series of first‑of‑their‑kind initiatives designed to remove long‑standing barriers faced by care‑experienced people across the UK.

In a bold step toward cultural equality, the Foundation is launching:

1. Free Train Travel for Care‑Experienced People

In an exclusive partnership with London Northwestern Railway, the Foundation will provide complimentary train travel for care‑experienced people across the network.

This initiative represents cultural capital at its most powerful, opening access to the arts, heritage, education, and community life.

For many, this is the first time travel will no longer be a barrier to being seen, included, and connected.

2. Complimentary Cinema Access Through Cineworld

The Foundation is also launching a new partnership with Cineworld, offering care‑experienced people free access to movies and cinema experiences.

This initiative ensures that young people who have grown up in care can enjoy the same cultural moments as their peers — without the financial or social barriers that too often reinforce exclusion.

3. Launch of the Foundation’s New Podcast: Who’s Cares?

A raw, unfiltered platform amplifying the voices of care‑experienced people, Who’s Cares? invites guests to speak openly about their journeys through the care system — their truth, their resilience, and their power.

A Celebration of Momentum and a New Era of Belonging

The event will also unveil the Foundation’s refreshed branding and mark two years of measurable impact, advocacy, and community transformation.

Founder Susan Vickers said:

“This is more than a launch — it is a promise. A promise that care‑experienced people will no longer be left on the outside looking in. These partnerships open doors that should never have been closed in the first place. We are building a world where belonging is not a privilege, but a right.”
