Young people come into foster care for so many reasons. They come from all backgrounds, all faiths and with their own needs and experiences. Almost all will have suffered some neglect, trauma and/or abuse, and every one of them needs the security, warmth, care and support our foster carers offer.

People have unique reasons for becoming foster carers, and many of them share similar qualities that help them provide excellent and inspiring care to those in need.

Being aware of triggers can be essential to navigating life for neurodivergent people. Consider the environmental factors when going out so that you can prepare for them before leaving and make the experience much more enjoyable

Ear defenders can be helpful if a noisy environment becomes overwhelming, tablet devices can help with regulating behaviour and offer time to detach and remember any special items that can help in difficult moments such as a favourite cup to drink from or a piece of clothing that makes them feel safe

Ever since our beginnings in 2005, our vision has always been to provide foster carers with quality training, flexible and dedicated support, and that family feel you do not get anywhere else.

Weโ€™re here to support you, 24/7, whilst you make a difference to young people who deserve a home.

Fostering with Blue Sky allows you to be valued and recognised for your contribution to supporting children and to foster a small, local, friendly and professional agency dedicated to working alongside you.

Curious? Get in touch. Our friendly team will be happy to help. https://bsf.foster.fyi/sp/3bae0f7d7ff

Celebrating our young volunteers this Volunteers' Week (1-7 June)๐Ÿ’™

As part of their Duke of Edinburgh's Award, our young people have been making a real difference in communities across the country.

Over the past year, they have dedicated an incredible 559 hours of volunteering, creating an estimated social value of ยฃ4,216.

From litter picking and supporting local charities to helping neighbours with shopping and gardening, assisting foster carers with newsletters, and taking part in community projects, their efforts have had a positive impact on so many people.

We are incredibly proud of the kindness, commitment, and community spirit our young people continue to show every day ๐ŸŒŸ

The countdown is on โ€“ The Blue Light Show is just around the corner!

On 1โ€“2 July 2026, the emergency services community will come together at Olympia London to learn, connect and collaborate

At Blue Sky Fostering, we know that many of the skills used every day in the emergency services โ€“ resilience, compassion, problem-solving, communication and the ability to stay calm under pressure โ€“ are the very qualities that make exceptional foster carers

Visit us at Stand POD5 to find out how your experience could help transform the life of a child or young person. Whether you're curious about fostering yourself or simply want to learn more, our team will be on hand to answer your questions and share how fostering can fit alongside your career and lifestyle

Register now for your free tickets and join two days of education, live demonstrations and cross-sector collaboration ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://bsf.foster.fyi/sp/ea2a36fc76d

We look forward to meeting the people who dedicate their lives to helping others and showing how those same skills can make a life-changing difference through fostering.

Their story is a reminder that fostering is for people from all walks of life who have the compassion, commitment and dedication to help children thrive

This Pride Month, we celebrate the diversity, love and support that foster families bring to our communities

Could you foster?
Thereโ€™s a common misconception that single people canโ€™t foster โ€” but that simply isnโ€™t true.

If youโ€™re single and have the space, stability and compassion to care for a child, you can foster.
One person can make a life-changing difference.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Curious? Letโ€™s talk.

Did you know?

Around 50% of children in care are part of a sibling group, yet many are separated due to a shortage of foster carers who can take brothers and sisters together.

At Blue Sky Fostering, we believe siblings should stay together whenever possible.

Keeping that family bond offers comfort, stability, and a sense of belonging.

If you are thinking about fostering, weโ€™d love to hear from you today. ๐Ÿฉต
