World Autism Awareness Day 💙🌍

Today we recognise and celebrate children and young people with autism. Every child deserves a safe, loving home where they can thrive, and sometimes that home comes through fostering.

If you’ve ever thought about making a difference in a child’s life, fostering a child with autism could be your chance to provide the support, understanding, and care they need to flourish.

Hello April 🌷

Lighter evenings, brighter days, and a season full of new beginnings. While everything around us is starting to grow, there are still children in our community waiting for somewhere to feel safe, settled, and supported.

This April, you could be the reason a child gets that fresh start. Shape a local child’s future and foster with your local council.

Thank you Lorraine Beavers MP for meeting with Christine and Pam from our fostering hub, to talk about the challenges on a local and national level recruiting foster carers for local children. It was great to hear your passion for supporting foster carers in our local community.
Foster with us recruits foster carers for five local councils across Lancashire and Cumbria, why not get in touch and speak to our friendly team to find out more. We even have our experienced foster carer buddies available to speak to and hear real life accounts of what it is like to be a foster carer for your local council.

This week, I met with Foster With Us, who are running a recruitment campaign for local foster carers across Blackpool and Lancashire.

You can find more information on their page Foster with us and on their website fosterwithus.org.uk

They are an amazing group of people who do their best to support local foster carers. Please reach out to them and seek their guidance for a fulfilling fostering opportunity.

A special shoutout to our Service Lead Pam, who delivered a fantastic presentation highlighting the success of Foster with us so far and what’s coming next 👏
