Foster Care Fortnight 2023 is here!

• Blogs and News

The Fostering Network's annual campaign is back and the theme for this year is #FosteringCommunities. 

We're celebrating our amazing fostering community and raising awareness about the need for more local foster carers to help children stay in their communities.

Throughout the fortnight we'll be sharing new fostering stories to acknowledge the dedication and passion of our foster carers, and to inspire new ones too!

We have lots of events planned, but one not to miss is our Information Evening at the Fire Fit Hub on the 25th May where respite foster carers Heather and Andrew will be joining us to share their story

What our foster carers say

Heather and Andrew

We hope that with our support, children can have a safe, nurturing place from which to grow and then to start to make sense of their life story.  Read Heather and Andrew's Story.

Safinah's Story

It’s the biggest achievement of my life.  I felt like I wanted to do something extra in life and I’ve done it now and I want to continue.  Read Safinah's Story.

Di's Story

The two children in my care have two promises from me...I will always keep them safe and I will always love them.  I know each day, however small, I am having a positive impact on their lives.

Sue's Story

I have fostered for 50 years now and had 412 children in my care. I've loved every one of them! Its so beautiful to see them grow up to well behaved children. I know I've given them a good start in life and that's my reward in life.
