Every day, children living in wars across the globe face unspeakable horrors.

They are not safe sleeping in their homes, playing outside, or learning in school. They are victims of abuse and violence, and are denied the humanitarian assistance that they desperately need.

We focus on empowering stories of children and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors in care, but today is a reminder that many children across the world are still in need of stability and safety. The UN's campaign reminds us that children have rights, and that children want peace. It’s time to “Prove It Matters”.

We're celebrating Pride month in recognition of all the LGBTQIA+ carers and young people in care 🫶

The first Pride march took place in 1970 as a protest and a party. At a time when LGBTQIA+ rights are being challenged in many parts of the world, Pride remains very important.

Creating safe, inclusive and supportive homes means creating homes where young people, foster families and colleagues can be themselves. A great family can take many forms, and it's diversity and empathy that brings the fostering community together. Happy Pride!

One of our young people H*, aged 10 years old, has won a Local Authority competition for her logo design! 👏👏

Children were asked to design a logo with the theme: "Families First", where H won a prize voucher.

We are incredibly proud of H and wish her well in her ongoing passion to excel in her artistic skills. Well done H!

With the cost of living on everyone’s mind, it’s more important than ever that foster carers get a fair deal.

Our latest blog breaks down the big topics being discussed right now, including:
👉 Standard professional fees (ending the postcode lottery)
👉 Council Tax exemptions for foster families
👉 Extra help with real-world costs like mileage and school trips

We are incredibly proud of how we support our Banya carers financially. If you’ve ever wondered how fostering works financially, this quick guide is for you.

As this year's comes to an end, we want to spotlight therapeutic care.

This is a distinct role designed for children who have had particularly difficult starts or who see the world differently due to neurodiversity like Autism or ADHD.

Therapeutic fostering is a specialised, professional way of caring that goes far beyond providing a spare room; it’s about using expert skills and a big heart to help children with the most complex needs truly heal and thrive.
