Such an important message 💙

Children coming into care need more than just a roof over their head. They need warmth, routine and people who care. It’s reassuring to know support and allowances are there to help carers focus on what really matters, helping a child feel safe again.

Every child deserves to feel safe and cared for💙

When a child comes into foster care, they need more than a bed for the night. They need meals, clothes, school routines, and little moments that help them feel normal again.

At Blackburn with Darwen Council, we offer competitive fostering allowances to cover the everyday costs of caring for a child, so you can focus on giving them the comfort, time, and attention they need.

If you could offer a child a safe place, we’d love to talk so contact our hub today to find out more:

There’s something really powerful about hearing foster carers talk honestly about what fostering gives back.

“Seeing how well they get on and how well they’re doing, that’s what we get out of fostering most, seeing them flourish.” 💛

This new film from Cumbria Fostering and Kinship is a lovely reminder of the impact stable, supported fostering can have. Not just for children, but for the whole family around them.

Today is Blue Monday💙

For many children in care, feelings of uncertainty don’t last just one day.

Foster carers provide consistency, reassurance and stability when it’s needed most, especially during difficult times.

Your support could help a local child feel secure, valued and cared for every single day.

It’s so uplifting to see people like Jaime and Steve choosing to make a difference for local children in Blackpool 💛

They first enquired through our hub, where our team was able to support them at the very start of their journey and link them with Blackpool Council.

As part of that process, they were also matched with an experienced foster carer buddy- someone who could offer reassurance, real-life insight and support along the way.

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, you won’t be on your own. From first enquiry to approval and beyond, support is there every step of the way.
