Yesterday, some of our foster carers enjoyed a lovely walk around Nantwich Lake and the surrounding area. It was a great opportunity to catch up, enjoy some fresh air, and finish the morning with tea and cake together.

If you've ever considered becoming a foster carer and would like to join our friendly monthly walking group, we'd love to hear from you.

We're so pleased to hear that our short film project 'The Run' -created collaboratively with over 90 other local authority fostering services, has been shortlisted for an award! 🏆

The film focuses on Tom, an 11-year-old boy, contrasting his need to run - away from danger, a chaotic home life, to get to school in time for breakfast club because he’s hungry - with running as a sport.

Watch the full version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5RWlHy787g and watch this space for updates on the outcome of the awards 🤞

Last week, the children of our foster carers enjoyed an exciting visit to the new Dome Youth Zone in Crewe.

They had exclusive use of the centre, giving them the opportunity to explore everything it has to offer, including rooftop football, the music zone, climbing wall and state-of-the-art gym facilities.

The fun continued with a trip to Taco Bell, where all the children enjoyed lunch together.

We recognise the vital role that the children of foster carers play in welcoming and supporting children who join their families. Supporting them is an important part of our fostering community, and we are grateful for the kindness, understanding and resilience they show every day.

As part of 2026 Kinship Care Week we held our Kinship Support Group was held at Oak Tree family Hub in Crewe, recognising the important role that Kinship Carers play in Cheshire East and to thank them for the hard work, dedication and commitment to the children in their care 🫶

Kinship carers had the opportunity to meet each other, and chat with a Fostering Team Manager as well as our team of Fostering Support Workers. Of course cake and chocolate was involved to help show our appreciation!

A huge thank you to our Kinship Carers and everything that you do 👏

This month's Walk and Talk group for Cheshire East foster carers was held at Brereton Heath Country Park, where we enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the lake, taking in the views and chatting along the way - we even found time for a bit of bird spotting!

We ended with a well deserved cuppa and cake, which went down particularly well with one of our littlest walkers 👧

Our Walk and Talk group is just one of the many ways we engage and keep in touch with our foster carer community, and there's so many other benefits that come with this rewarding career at Cheshire East.

Despite the rainy weather yesterday, our monthly Walk and Talk support group enjoyed a lovely stroll around Queens Park in Crewe. Some of our foster carers braved the elements for a chance to catch up with one another, followed by tea and cake.

So great to see authors bringing the topic of fostering to the forefront - another fab new book from the talented Jaqueline Wilson 🫶📖

Yesterday, our foster carers’ own children enjoyed an afternoon of tenpin bowling followed by burgers and fries. We recognise the important role they play in fostering and wanted to show our appreciation.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and support. You make a real difference to the children and young people welcomed into your families. 💙
