HAPPY FOSTER CARE FORTNIGHT 2026

This year’s theme is #ThisIsFostering, so over the next two weeks we’ll be shining a light on the everyday realities of fostering while raising awareness of the life - changing impact foster carers have on children and young people.

Thank you to every foster carer opening their home, heart, time, patience, wisdom and resilience to children who need care, safety, stability and belonging.

“Because fostering is not a slogan. It is early mornings, school runs, difficult conversations, laughter around dinner tables, setbacks, celebrations, reviews, birthdays, uncertainty, perseverance, healing, advocacy and relationships. It is ordinary life doing extraordinary work” Mark Owers, Chief Executive, Nationwide Association of Fostering Providers

Keep an eye on our social media channels over the next few weeks for inspiring stories from the fostering community.

We know fostering isn’t always easy, and that more must be done to make foster care sustainable for the future. This is an opportunity to celebrate, reflect and shape the future together.
