Kick starting Fostering Fortnight off with a quote from one of our foster carers! This year the focus is around celebrating the moments that define fostering journeys, big or small. How young people are made to feel safe and the memories created.⁠ ⁠ #FHC #FosteringMoments

#FosteringMoments look different for everyone, however they all show the incredible impact that foster care has. 🙌 This rings true for foster carer JJ, who spoke to us about the moment a boy in his care asked when he was going to be long-term matched with him. 💬 #FCF24

Sometimes #FosteringMoments can lead to decades of love, connection and family.... Which is what happened for Rebecca, Mary and Tim. Rebecca was fostered by Mary and Tim and is now 38. She moved out at 30, and still pops round to see them most days. 🥰 #FCF24 #FeelGoodFriday
