Hope Daniels is a proud ‘care leaver in recovery’. She spent her childhood in care due to her parents’ alcoholism. At thirty, she began intensive therapy to address childhood trauma and a dependency issue. Under her real name, Jenny Molloy, she is a guest lecturer and was instrumental in developing the ‘Care Leavers’ Charter’ in October 2012. Government bodies consult her on child care and fostering. Her aim is to inspire hope in care leavers and professionals, emphasizing the inherent abilities of all care leavers.
