Being part of a fostering family often means sharing your home, family, and everyday life. Along the way there can be fun, laughter, new friendships, and special memories, but there can also be change, uncertainty, and goodbyes.

That's why it's so important that children of foster carers have opportunities to share their views and experiences, and access to a safe space where they can talk about both the rewards and challenges of being part of a fostering family.

The children of our foster carers play a vital role in helping other children feel welcome, included, and cared for. Their kindness, patience, and understanding make a real difference.

As a small thank you, this week we're treating our children and young people, who are fostering too, to a trip to Nando's. 🌟

Thank you for everything you do. We are proud to celebrate you this Children of Foster Carers Week.

You can't pour from an empty cup ☕️ Foster Carers open their hearts to help children heal from trauma. But to care for others, our Foster Carers need to be taken care of, too.

This , we’re highlighting the emotional journey of Foster Carers 🤝💚

Having a strong support network isn't just helpful—it's essential for emotional well-being.
