Join us in recognizing and supporting the incredible families and individuals who open their hearts and homes during Foster Care Fortnight.
It's time to shine a spotlight on the incredible work of foster parents and the courage and resilience of children in foster care, as we celebrate Foster Care Fortnight on May 9. This annual event was first established in the UK in 1998 to raise awareness about the needs of foster children and recognize the amazing contributions of foster families. During this two-week period, various organizations and communities come together to support and celebrate these unsung heroes who provide love, stability, and a brighter future for children in need. Let's take a moment to appreciate all that they do and encourage others to get involved in this meaningful cause!
Organize a fundraiser to support local foster care organizations. This could be a bake sale, a charity run, or any other creative event to raise awareness and funds for foster care during Foster Care Fortnight.
Spend some time during Foster Care Fortnight volunteering at a local foster care organization. This could involve playing with the children, helping with administrative tasks, or even fostering a child yourself.
Plan and host an event to raise awareness about foster care in your community. This could be a panel discussion, a film screening, or any other creative way to start important conversations about foster care during Foster Care Fortnight.

Use Foster Care Fortnight as an opportunity to educate yourself and others about the realities and needs of foster care. Share resources, raise awareness, and have important conversations about how we can all support and improve the foster care system.
Foster Care Fortnight is an important reminder that there are many children in need of safe and loving homes. By bringing attention to this issue, we can help encourage people to consider becoming foster parents or support organizations that provide resources for children in foster care.
Foster Care Fortnight is also a time to celebrate and honor the strength and determination of foster children. They have faced challenges that most of us could never imagine, yet they continue to persevere and thrive with the love and support of their foster families.
Fostering can be a difficult and emotionally taxing experience, but it plays such an important role in providing stability and love for children in need.
