Resilience - A Life In Care (Part 1 of 6)

Today, we’re starting a special series called ‘Resilience - A Life In Care’. It’s part of our Oral Project, in which we capture and share the incredible experiences of the Windrush Generation - and their descendants. 

Tony Simpson was born in 1961 to a Jamaiican mother in a Salvation Army ‘mother and baby home’. He would then go on to spend the next 16 years of his life in Barnardo’s care.

Over 6 episodes Tony will retrace his steps by visiting the places and institutions he was born and raised in. 

He will also share his many triumphs – including meeting Royalty, Nelson Mandela and some of the world’s leading figures in business and beyond.

Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe.
