Moon and Back Foster Care

19/09/2026

🌙 A new chapter for Moon and Back🌙

September 2026 marks an important moment in the story of Moon and Back, as one of our Co-Founders and Directors, Angela Hunt, begins a well-earned retirement. The staff and foster families bid their farewells, as ever with cake.

Moon and Back was founded by Angela Hunt and Alison Kindred Byrne, with a shared vision of creating a fostering agency where children and young people are at the heart of everything we do, and where foster families feel genuinely supported, valued and part of something special.

Together, as Co-Founders and Co-Directors, they have built Moon and Back from that original vision into the organisation and community we are so proud of today.

As Angela steps away from the business, we want to recognise and celebrate the enormous contribution she has made to that journey. 🎉🎉👏👏

From those very first conversations and ideas through to everything Moon and Back has become, her experience and dedication have helped shape the organisation we know today.

We wish Angela every happiness in retirement and hope she looks back with enormous pride at everything she and Alison have created together.❤️❤️

For Moon and Back, this is not the end of the story – it is the beginning of its next chapter.🚀🚀🚀

Co-Founder Alison will now take sole leadership of Moon and Back, continuing to build on the foundations, values and vision that have been at the heart of the organisation since it began.

There is much to be proud of, and even more to look forward to.

Our commitment to our children and young people, our foster families and our team remains as strong as ever – and the values on which Moon and Back was founded will continue to guide us as we grow and develop.

Please join us in thanking Angela for everything she has contributed, wishing her a wonderful retirement, and looking forward with us to the next chapter of Moon and Back. 🌙

⭐️ THINK YOU CAN’T FOSTER?⭐️

You might be suprised 🌙

✨Let’s bust a few myths✨

👉SINGLE -you can foster

What matters is having time, patience, empathy and a strong support system- a fostering service helps build this with carers.

👉NOT PARENTED- you can foster

What matters is being willing to offer stability for young people, be sensitivity to past traumatic experiences, have a commitment to provide a nurturing and safe environment and work as part of a team.🌙🚀

👉I AM GAY / NON BINARY /TRANS -you can foster

You sexuality or gender identity does not prevent you from providing a stable, trauma informed environment. Being compassionate, curious and a strong advocate for young people who have experienced adversity is what matters. 🌙🚀

👉I AM NEURODIVERGENT - you can still foster

This does not prevent you providing a stable, nurturing and safe environment for young people, in fact it may well give you some additional understanding of the challenges and barriers young people may experience. 🌙🚀

❤️THE TRUTH
There isn’t one specific type of person who makes a good Foster Carer

What matters is a combination of you as a person, your situation, your environment, your ability to reflect and willingness to learn and develop whilst providing a stable safe home for young people and work as part for a professional team.

Could fostering be something you could do?

It starts with a conversation🗣️ no pressure no hard sales just a confidential safe discussion.

✨Have you been curious about fostering?✨

✨Wondered if you could do it?
✨ Seen lots of adverts but never gone further
✨Thought maybe its something for the future
✨Assumed you would be ruled out- because you
rent your home, or are single, are working, or
not parented.

It can take individuals, couples or families a long time before they feel ready to find out more.

And then starts the process!

Often families describe feeling overwhelmed 🤔with which service to approach, several told us that they chose the first organisation that they found online.🙈

✨We encourage families to find one that offers what they need. ✨

Talk to several organisations and find out what each one does, Sometimes the people from an organisation are people you never get to meet or work with past those initial calls.

At to The Moon and Back Foster Care 🌙🚀 you get to know the whole team, from our efficient admin team, those sorting our financial payments, the whole social work team and of course the owners.

If being part of a service where you are known by name, you know if you call at 3am it will be a voice you know and just as important someone who knows you and your young people.

✨We build strong relationships and build in a
sense of safety for all.
✨We encourage families to get to know each
other. Peer support can provide opportunities
to share handy tips, and someone to share the
highs and lows.
✨Formal group meetings are offered but also
those informal get together are just as
important.

July was a busy month as schools broke up we held our 4th annual Family day.

It is a time to bring our foster families, staff team and young people we care for together for a day at Orchard Park, Cambridgeshire.

This year we focused on well being with a beautiful sound bath by the talented Adrienn Ferencz at https://www.facebook.com/reikichargedbyAdrienn providing time to experience the relaxation created by a range of singing bowls, gongs and drums. There was also time for people to explore the instruments themselves.

Great game of rounders and basketball for those young and old, and time for our families and staff team to relax, share food, laughter and of course mindful activities with our clinical lead Jocasta at Headroom-roomforyourhead.

Fostering at Moon and Back you are never on your own, our dedicated social workers, walk with our families providing bespoke support for each individual family. We know it takes a village to raise a child and a community to foster. 🌙🚀

If this is something you have been thinking off or curious about, why not make the first step- a confidential chat to find out more.
