Freedom Fostering

Foster Care Fortnight is the UK’s biggest awareness raising campaign for fostering. will run from Monday 11 May – Sunday 24 May and the theme this year is ‘This is Fostering’, celebrating and raising awareness of the different stories across the fostering community.

The theme this year brings together three key threads

It shines a light on the everyday experiences of fostering, raising awareness of the positive impact foster carers have.
It acknowledges the pressures foster carers are facing in today’s climate – from low allowances and fees and inconsistent support, to feeling excluded from decision making about the children in their care.
It is a call to action. It gives us a collective platform to stand together as foster carers, kinship carers and the wider fostering community to call on the government for meaningful change.
