Summary
High Chelmer Shopping Centre will host The Unseen from May 26-29, using photographs of objects chosen by care leavers to show memories and milestones that shaped them.
Five Essex County Council services — including fostering, residential recruitment, employability and supported lodgings — will exhibit alongside it, giving residents a chance to ask questions and explore ways to help.
The exhibition is designed to push employers and organizations to create meaningful jobs for care-experienced young people, while widening local support through volunteering, fostering and other services.
The project follows a short documentary of the same name and sits within Essex's £1.33 million Year of Opportunity campaign for 2025-26; the council says it supports more than 1,100 looked-after children and young people.
