The most important event in our calendar is Foster Care Fortnight, a UK campaign to raise awareness around foster care. It celebrates the devotion of foster carers and the positive impact that they have on society. This year’s campaign took place from 15th – 28nd May 2023 and each week day we held virtual live chats.

Real Life Stories
Hear about the experiences of our foster carers, why they chose to foster and are now giving something back by making a difference to the lives of children and young people in their care
Growing up in poverty in Colombia and later being fostered herself, gave Luza an intimate understanding of the profound difference fostering can make to a child’s life.
Wanting to foster children became an early ambition of hers and, when she and John met 11 years ago, they discovered this was a dream they shared.
They now have two foster children in their care, both of whom are autistic. The extraordinary rewards of fostering far outweigh any challenges and adjustments, they say.
