Kent Fostering and Supported Homes

Today we came together to celebrate the heart of our fostering community.

A huge congratulations to all the winners at our Annual Foster Carer Awards and a heartfelt thank you to every foster carer for the care, support and stability you provide to children and young people every day.

We're looking forward to sharing more photos from the event soon, but for now, here are a few highlights from a truly special day.

Thinking about fostering? We'd love to hear from you.

💛 Could you foster a child in Thanet?

We're looking for more foster carers across Margate, Ramsgate and the wider Thanet area to provide local children with safe, stable and supportive homes.

When children can stay close to their communities, schools and friends, it can make a huge difference during a difficult time.

Foster with your local authority, Kent.

This November, we’re proud to recognise National Care Leavers’ Month, a time to celebrate the achievements, resilience and potential of care-experienced young people across the UK.
It’s also an opportunity to raise awareness of the challenges many young people face as they transition from care into independence, and to champion the support, opportunities and voices that can make a lasting difference.

We're incredibly proud of Kent foster carer Debbie who recently attended a special event at Downing Street to help launch the Government's first national fostering recruitment campaign.

Reflecting on the experience, Debbie said:

"It was just an absolute honour and privilege to be invited to Downing Street by Josh MacAlister and to help launch the national fostering campaign."

Thank you, Debbie, for being such a fantastic ambassador for fostering and helping to raise awareness of the need for more foster carers. 💙

⚽💛 For many children of foster carers, it's the little moments that make the biggest difference.

Whether that's kicking a football around in the garden, sharing hobbies, or simply spending time together, these everyday interactions help children and young people feel safe, welcomed and part of the family.

As part of Children of Foster Carers Week, Mary shares what growing up in a fostering household has meant to her:

"Being part of a fostering family has taught me a lot. I love being able to help take care of children that may need a little extra support, it feels rewarding to know I have made even a small impact on a child's life. I've spent plenty of enjoyable hours playing football in the garden with them, which I know helps them to feel at home! I would absolutely recommend others to get into foster care, the impact you could have on young peoples lives is huge."

Thank you, Mary, for sharing your experience. 💛
