For Foster Care Fortnight, we asked our carers to show us what fostering looks like in their home 🩷

"We love making things from old cardboard boxes, going on days out to the seaside or the park. We might have a messy house but we love to keep busy with arts and crafts and even gaming" - Jane, Lincolnshire foster carer.

As part of Foster Care Fortnight, we asked our foster carers to share what fostering looks like for their family. Foster carer, Katie shared:

"It takes a village to raise a child. Without these lot we would be lost from there words advice during tough times and celebrating the small wins with us. We are forever grateful."
