1 in 10 children in care move three or more times in a year.

With more than 81,000 children in care in England, thousands experience three or more placement moves each year.

Every move can mean new faces, new rules and another loss to process.

That's why foster carers are so important. By providing stability, nurture and unconditional care, they help children feel safe, secure and valued—often after some of the most difficult experiences of their young lives.

A stable home can change a child's story.

Could you open yours?

Imagine your child entering a stranger's home with just a bag. 💼

What questions would fill their mind?

Where will they sleep? Will they be welcomed? Will someone share a snack or watch TV with them? 📺🍎

When we asked kids what they'd ask a new foster carer, it wasn't about gifts or trips. It was:

💙 "Will I be respected?"
💙 "Could you love me like your own?"
💙 "Will you be kind?"
💙 "Will we share meals and moments together?"

These kids carry worries no child should bear. Their hopes? Simple: kindness, belonging, safety.

As a parent, you get it. Could you offer these to a child in need?

💬 What would your child want to know if they had to move into a new home tomorrow? Share your thoughts in the comments.

24/7 means never facing it alone.

Our foster families have access to support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Children don't stop needing care outside office hours, and foster carers shouldn't have to wait for support when they need it.

Whether it's navigating a challenge, sharing a concern or celebrating a breakthrough, our team is always there.

So foster carers can focus on what matters most: helping children feel safe, loved and supported.

32 months. One place to call home.

The average time a child stays with a foster family from our charity is 32 months.

Children in care can experience a lot of change in their lives. That's why stability matters.

Behind this number are foster carers who provide not just a roof over a child's head, but the care, patience and commitment that help them feel secure and supported for the long term.

🌟 What if it was YOUR child? 🌟

Imagine your little one leaving everything familiar, stepping into a new home with strangers. What would you hope those strangers say to comfort them? 🤔

When kids were asked what they'd want to know from a foster carer, their questions were simple but profound:

💭 "Can you cook?"
💭 "Will you take me to school?"
💭 "Why do we have a social worker?"

These are more than questions. They're seeking assurance:

❤️ "Will you care for me?"
❤️ "Will I belong here?"
❤️ "Am I safe?"

Kids need more than just a home—they need love and security. That's what foster carers offer.

💙 Envision your child in a new place. What comforting words would you want them to hear?
