Foster Care Fortnight 2024
The Fostering Network’s annual campaign, Foster Care Fortnight 2024, starts today! FCF (Foster Care Fortnight) is a great opportunity for those interested in fostering to find out more.
This years theme is ‘Fostering Moments’, which gives the fostering community an opportunity to celebrate the moments that define fostering journeys, big and small. The moments that built confidence, made young people feel safe and created memories.
Throughout the fortnight, we’ll encourage people across the fostering community to share the moments that have mattered most to them. Foster carers might reflect on the day they were approved, or the first time a young person in their care gave them a hug. By sharing these experiences, we can show that every moment in fostering truly matters.
You play a vital role in the fostering community—whether you’re a foster carer, social worker, young person, Fostering Friendly employer, or a supporter of foster care. Together, we make a real difference in the lives of young people, and we invite you to get involved in celebrating Foster Care Fortnight.
What to Expect
We know how fantastic the fostering community is, and we want to highlight that over the two-week campaign. We’re inviting all young people, birth children, Foster Carers, their family members, and the wider support network to participate and share their special fostering moments with the community. This is a fantastic chance for everyone to share their voice and offer insight into the world of fostering, showing how we can work together to improve the lives of children and teenagers in care.
Send us images, make a short video or just write a few sentences that we can use if you prefer. We truly appreciate anything you send us, and your contribution will make a real difference to this year’s campaign.
You can send your content for Foster Care Fortnight to bowen@lorimerfostering.com, or send them to your Supervising Social Worker to pass on. We look forward to hearing your stories and all about your experiences!
