This May, as we commemorate VE Day, we pause to reflect on the courage, resilience, and sacrifices of those who helped shape our nation’s history. In their honour, we also look forward – recognising the opportunity each of us has to shape the future for children who need us most.
From foster care to fostering change: Paul Jacobs GM
Meet Paul Jacobs GM, a powerful voice for change and a beacon of hope for children in care. Paul, now a Diagrama Fostering Ambassador, spent his formative years in the foster care system. His life took another dramatic turn when he lost his sight during service in Afghanistan. Yet, despite these challenges, Paul has become a passionate advocate for children with disabilities and those facing adversity.
“I want to inspire people, especially young foster children who have been given a tough start in life. There isn’t anything you can’t achieve.”
— Paul Jacobs GM
Paul’s story is a moving testament to the transformative power of care, resilience, and belief. He reminds us that where we begin in life doesn’t determine where we can go.
