Getting into the Halloween spirit 🎃

Pumpkins, parties and spook-tacular crafts are keeping everyone frightfully busy across our charity this

Residents at our nursing homes – St Catherine’s in Newcastle and Holy Cross in Sunderland – have been sharing childhood memories of Halloween as they perfect their pumpkins while members at our The Hub at Parkhead day centre in Ashington have been conjuring up some wonderfully wicked pumpkin designs of their own.

With a fang-tastic party in full swing for our Fostering North East Young Stars group and daring decorations everywhere you look at our Alan Shearer Centre, there’s certainly plenty of ghoulish goings-on for everyone to enjoy 👻

Happy Halloween 🧛‍♂

A we reach the end of Children of foster carers' week, our fostering manager John talks about how fostering is something the whole family experiences 👪

13/10/2026

Families with children can still foster 💭

As we celebrate we’re reminding anyone thinking about fostering that having children of your own needn’t be a barrier to opening up your home to a fostered child.

Foster carers’ own children have a special part to play in fostering: sharing their home, their parents, the special times and the everyday family moments which help someone new to settle and feel they belong.

But as well as all the benefits family life brings to a fostered child, your own children will benefit, too, by making new friendships and sharing experiences that can help them see life from a different perspective.

Fostering North East manager, John says, “Growing up in a fostering family can help children develop empathy, kindness and skills that will stay with them throughout their lives. And throughout your fostering journey, families are never alone. Our friendly team is there to offer professional support and guidance to the whole family, including your own children, as you experience fostering together. If you feel your family has room to grow, we’ll be there to support you every step of the way.”

If you’re thinking about fostering, whether you have children at home or not, why not start the conversation with an informal, no-obligation chat with our friendly team?
