An update on our fund raising for Ukraine. As of Friday 11th March we reached an amazing £930 for the Ukraine appeal through Save The Children, thanks to our wonderful staff team and amazing fostering families. As promised, we doubled this amount and have since received even more donations.

Our current overall total is £1,915, so a big big thank you to all staff and foster parents that were able to give!!

This amount will be doubled by the government under the DEC Ukraine appeal so we are really proud of ourselves for the amount that we have reached so far.

We have begun fundraising within our organisation to support Save the children with their Ukraine appeal.

We are moved to do this because we feel we should stand with and support the people of Ukraine during this time. Save the Children is a charity which works in line with our values and we are proud to support them. In every conflict, children are affected the most, this is why we are raising funds so that Save the Children can continue to provide medicine, food, shelter and education.

Donations made by our staff and fostering families through our internal channel will be matched by us on the 11th March.

If you are not part of our organisation we urge you to donate directly to one of the charities providing aid to Ukraine in this terrible time of need.

Well worth a watch... Ashley John-Baptiste investigates the impact the care system can have on separated siblings.

More than 12,000 children in care are not living with at least one of their siblings. If you have the space and time to offer foster care for siblings in your family then you would be making a huge, life long difference to some of the most vulnerable people in our society today.

For more information about fostering with us contact Kirsten on 079458 120 085 or message our page.

On 20th November - the South West regional team held a children's award ceremony celebrating the achievements of the children throughout the year.

There was also a long service award for foster parents where Foster Parents were given a gift, a certificate and a personalised testimony.

To top that we had a special visitor from the north pole who came to present the certificates to the children. It was a magical day and great fun was had by all......

The team in East Anglia had a fantastic day with the children and young people yesterday at the ‘Winter Wonderland’ arts and craft event. There was a range of projects to complete and an opportunity to all meet up and spend time together. They enjoyed pizza for lunch followed by a few rounds of ‘Winter Wonderland’ bingo. I am sure you will agree the arts and crafts completed on the day are amazing; below are a few photos showing some examples and the event wouldn’t be complete with out the regions purple elf making an appearance!
