'My Things Matter'

CICC wants to make moving easier for children in care in East Sussex. Sometimes, we don't have enough bags to carry our things, so we can give you FREE canvas bags to keep when you move. We also have reusable plastic boxes to protect your things from breaking or getting lost. Please ask your social workers or the CICC for these.
