Fostering is….. ‘Everything’
‘Everything’ follows foster carer Mike and his family on a journey through time with two of the children they have looked after, who are now adults. A surprise 60th birthday party for Mike gives Will and Zara a chance to reflect on how being fostered made a difference to their lives, thanking him for everything.
“Fostering with your local council or children’s trust means you can better support local children and young people who need a safe and nurturing home where they can grow and thrive.”
Take five minutes out to watch the film and maybe you can help us change lives.
New to fostering?
Already a foster carer?
The rewards of foster caring extend far beyond the positive influence on a child, as fostering can bring personal growth, fulfilment, and a sense of purpose to your own life.
Together, we can create a brighter future for vulnerable children and build a more compassionate society.
Thinking about fostering?
Becoming a foster parent is an extraordinary opportunity to provide stability, care, and love to a child who may have experienced adversity. By offering your home and becoming part of the vital network of children’s services in the UK, you can make a significant and lasting impact on a child’s life.
Fostering comes in many forms, it can be a very short term arrangement, or it can mean giving a home to a child until they reach adulthood.
There are many reasons why children need to be looked after and there are many people, with different skills and experiences who become foster carers.
There is no such thing as a typical fostering situation. If you decide to become a foster carer, you will have plenty of opportunity to explore which type of fostering would be right for you and your family.
