Outreach
Sophie is a Care Leaver, who’s personal experiences are part of her life’s mission; to empower, represent and advocate for care experienced young people and marginalised children and adults.
In 2015, Sophie founded non-profit organisation, Stories Of Care; a dynamic and rebellious writing and outreach organisation, that work exclusively with exceptional new writers, from diverse backgrounds. They offer long-term developmental support to their participants so that they can become creative leaders and make personal and political work that smashes through the glass ceilings across Theatre, Radio, Stand-Up, Television and Literature.
As an Executive Producer on her BBC Two sitcom, Alma’s Not Normal, Sophie has also instigated a paid training programme for young people from low income and Care Experienced backgrounds on the production.
Alma’s Not Normal, has also delivered an extensive open audition process, to make sure working class actors from Bolton are cast in the show. The show also features several Care Experienced young people, in their first television roles.
Sophie also works freelance as a Key Note Speaker, Mentor and Facilitator, as well as being a Panelist for Swiis Foster Care.
