🏆💙 What an incredible achievement for Sarah & Carl from Fostering Together!

They have been named Inspirational Parent Carer Winners at the 2026 WellChild Awards. 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦🏡

Since becoming foster carers, Sarah & Carl have opened home and hearts to children with ranging disabilities & very complex medical needs, some of which were previously preventing these young people from ever being outside of hospital.💙🩺🌟

We were really moved by their speech, dedications to each other and the support networks around them and Evelyn’s wonderfully simple: “Mum and Carl looks after me so good!” 🥹

A very special evening celebrating two very special people. 💙

Congratulations again Sarah & Carl! We’re so proud to have you as part of the Fostering Together family! 👏🏆

⭐️ We’ve been in Coleshill today, with families in assessment to foster, providing some preparation training and a glimpse at what the next steps of their fostering journey will look like. 👣

We find these days a great opportunity to introduce the staff team, explore what fostering children with disabilities specifically can involve, and share how we’ll be supporting them once their fostering registration is approved. 👋👀

Sarah, Vicky, Matt, Greg & Jack want to share thanks and a shoutout to foster carers Terry, Sam and Adrian who shared their perspectives as experienced carers with the group too! 🌟

☀️ What a summer it’s been! From thrill-seeking on theme park rides to getting up close with nature at forests and parks, our Fostering Together community has been making unforgettable memories all season long 🎡 🐿️

There’s nothing quite like bringing our foster carers, children, and young people together to connect, laugh, and share new experiences. A huge thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and made this summer so special! 💛

Check out some of our favourite highlights in the video below 🎥👇

☀️ Our Summer adventures continued yesterday with our Midlands community - they decided to join up for a combined event! 💛

This time, we headed to Twinlakes Park for a day of rides, water fun and, of course, a picnic in the shade! 🎢🧺💦

We made the most of the sunshine, with families enjoying the rides and attractions, and cooling off at the water park. 😎🌊 Another lovely summer day out with the families (and hopefully some tired children by the end of it 😂)! 💛

Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a great day. We’ll be keeping an eye on the weather as we look ahead to the rest of the summer! ☀️🥵

🌲☀️ Our Summer adventures continued with our East Anglia community yesterday! 🤩

This time, we headed into Thetford Forest for a picnic at High Lodge, enjoying a lovely day surrounded by the trees & sunshine! 🧺🌳

It was definitely a hot one, but we managed to keep our cool! 😎🧊 Our gazebo was back in action, alongside lots of toys, games and activities! 🎲🧸⚽

We had a lovely chilled-out day in the forest with our families especially great chance for new team members to meet the local families! 🤗 🌲💚

Thanks to everyone who came along, and we're looking forward to more regional summer events right around the corner! 🌈👀

☀️ Our Summer events have officially begun! 🌳💛

We kicked things off with our Essex community King George's Park in Brentwood, making the most of the sunshine with a lovely relaxed day together for a picnic. 🧺🌼

In the hot weather, our signature bright pink gazebo came in very handy 😎, giving everyone a bit of shade while we enjoyed plenty of toys, games and activities throughout the day! ⛱️🎲⚽🫧

Thanks to everyone who came along and we're looking forward to more regional summer adventures to come! 🌈😎

📣 Please welcome Holly to the Fostering Together team! 👀🚀

We're delighted to have Holly join us in our day-to-day Operations, where she'll be helping to coordinate referrals and support children, families and professionals as they begin their journey with Fostering Together. 🌱

Before joining us, Holly gained experience in customer-facing roles and has also volunteered on the Samaritans' crisis helpline, developing the empathy, compassion and listening skills that make her such a great fit for our team and this important role. She's excited to learn all about disability fostering and is looking forward to meeting many of our families at our upcoming summer events! 😎☀️

🌟 Please join us in giving Holly a warm welcome! 🌟

♿️ Today is Changing Places Toilet Awareness Day. 💜

We made this video as we're so proud of Lulu, our mobile Changing Places facility, helping children and young people with complex disabilities access personal care safely, comfortably and with dignity whilst out and about. 🚐

Lulu joins us at our family events throughout the year, making it easier for more families to enjoy days out together without worrying about where personal care can take place. 🤔

We've also been approached to support wider community events across the regions to boost their accessibility! 🤗

Every child deserves the opportunity to take part, and enjoy time with their family without worrying about these barriers so our commitment is to ensure we have access to the right facilities to make that possible. 🌱

🎥 Watch here to see Lulu in action and find out why she's become such an important part of our community.

🌟 Another very special Big Heart for Children with Disabilities Award... 🎵💙

Recently, we had the pleasure of surprising Regina, a Music Therapist at Shooting Star Children’s Hospices, with a Big Heart Award before she leaves this summer. 🫶

Nominated by one of our foster families, Regina was recognised for the incredible impact she's had on Z during her music therapy sessions. By taking the time to truly understand how Z communicates, Regina helped her find her voice, build confidence and develop greater independence. 🎶💛

Her nominators Ellie & Amy shared:
💬 "She was one of the first professionals to communicate effectively with Z without our support, giving her autonomy and showing her that her voice matters."

The difference Regina has made will stay with Z and her family for many years to come, and we're so grateful for everything she's done.

👏 Thank you, Regina, and wishing you every happiness as you begin your next chapter back home. 💙🌍

🌟 A very special Big Heart for Children with Disabilities Award this week... 💙🏆

To mark National Children's Nurses Day 2026 (30th June), we had the privilege of presenting a Big Heart for Children with Disabilities Award to the incredible Children's High Dependency Unit (CHDU) and Respiratory Team at Royal Stoke University Hospital. 🩺💛

Nominated by one of our foster families, the team were recognised for their outstanding clinical care andreassurance they provide to children with complex medical needs and the people who care for them. 🫶

Sarah shared:
💬 "The team's warmth and humanity are a defining feature of our experience. They combine exceptional clinical care with kindness, humour and unwavering support, helping us through some of our most difficult times."
Whether it's expert advice, taking time to reassure families, or the small everyday gestures that bring a smile to a child's face, this team make an enormous difference to so many lives.

👏 Congratulations to these amazing people, and thank you for everything you do for children and families every single day. Hope you had a wonderful National Children's Nurses Day! 💙
