Today we welcomed one of Hull’s newest art spaces into our Fostering Friendly community!

Earlier this year, Blank Canvas brought life to one of the empty units on the third floor of Princes Quay. Mandy and Sophie have big ambitions for the space, which is already opening its doors to all sorts of community groups. From poets and theatre groups to artists and creatives, there really is something for everyone.

Today, we were lucky enough to make use of this fantastic space for a creative session with our foster families. Children and carers got stuck in, experimenting with different art techniques and creating masterpieces that could feature in next year’s Hull Fostering calendar. 🎨✨
We were also delighted to be joined by Miranda Van Rossem, the community artist behind Hull’s Alphabet of Hull Trail. Hull Fostering is incredibly excited to be involved in this project and to help our foster families play a part in creating something for the wider city.
A huge thank you to Mandy, Sophie and everyone at Blank Canvas for welcoming our families and helping us create opportunities like this.

This is exactly what being a Fostering Friendly Business is about. Partnering with local businesses who are willing to open their doors to us, share their spaces, maybe even their skill and in doing so, helping foster families feel connected to the community around them.

Fostering doesn’t happen in isolation. It takes a whole community and we’re proud to be building

Thank you, Timpson.

Sometimes it’s the little acts of kindness that make the biggest difference.

When we found ourselves in a bit of a bind at an event, the fantastic team at Timpson on King Edward Street came to our rescue without hesitation. They genuinely saved our day, and we’re so grateful for their kindness and willingness to help.

It comes as no surprise, because Timpson has a long standing reputation for putting people first. Through the Timpson Foundation, the company supports care leavers into employment, offers work experience, guaranteed interviews and ongoing support, alongside its wider commitment to giving opportunities to people who need a second chance. It’s a business built on kindness, trust and community.

At Hull Fostering, we’re incredibly proud to recognise Timpson as one of our Fostering Friendly workplaces. Their support goes far beyond Hull, they have been championing children, families and communities across the country for many years.

Thank you to everyone at Timpson, especially the brilliant team on King Edward Street. Your kindness didn’t just help us on the day, it reminded us why businesses like yours make such a difference to local communities.

If your business would like to become part of Hull Fostering’s growing Fostering Friendly network, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can make life that little bit easier for the families who are changing children’s lives every single day.

We're incredibly proud to welcome Let's Tech Together as one of Hull's newest Fostering Friendly Workplaces.

Technology plays such a big part in family life, but when something isn't working, it can quickly become stressful. That's why this partnership means so much.

Let's Tech Together is passionate about helping people feel confident using technology. From friendly, patient support with phones, tablets and computers, to practical advice that helps people get the most from the digital world, they're committed to making technology accessible to everyone.

For our foster families, this support has the potential to be genuinely life changing. Whether it's helping solve everyday tech problems, building confidence with new devices, or simply being there with expert advice when it's needed, their knowledge and kindness will make a real difference.

Every child deserves a community that believes in them. Sometimes, it's the smallest acts of support from local businesses that make the biggest difference to children growing up in foster care.

Thank you to everyone at Let's Tech Together for standing alongside Hull Fostering and becoming part of our growing Fostering Friendly Workplace family. We're so proud to have you on board, and we can't wait to see the difference we'll make together.

If your organisation would like to become a Fostering Friendly Workplace and help support local children and foster families, we'd love to hear from you.

Could you offer a child a forever family?

Many of the children who begin their journey in foster care go on to find a permanent, loving family through adoption. That's why we're always proud to support our colleagues at One Adoption North and Humber.

If you've been thinking about adoption, or simply want to find out more, why not join their next free online information event?

There's no pressure and no commitment, just the opportunity to hear from experienced adoption professionals, learn about the children waiting for families, understand the adoption process and ask any questions you may have.

Wednesday 26 August
6pm to 7pm
Online via Microsoft Teams

You don't need to make any decisions. Sometimes the first step towards changing a child's life is simply having a conversation.

A huge welcome, and thank you, to Fantasy World for becoming a Hull Fostering Friendly Workplace.

When Hull Pride came around, they didn’t hesitate to support us, generously donating an incredible costume that brought smiles, laughter and so many conversations throughout the parade. It completely made the day.

Acts of kindness like this help us raise awareness of fostering in a way that is fun, welcoming and full of community spirit.

We’re so proud to have Fantasy World as part of our ever growing Fostering Friendly Workplace family.

Thank you for believing in Hull’s foster families. It really is an honour to have you with us.
