As 2025 comes to a close, we want to say thank you — for every school run, every bedtime story, every quiet word of encouragement, and every small act of care that makes such a difference. 💛

You are the heart of Orchard Fostering, and the reason so many young people across Ireland feel safe, supported, and loved.

Here’s to another year of care, connection, and hope. 💜

Myth: “Foster children can’t join in family Christmas traditions.”

Truth: Every foster family celebrates in their own way — with warmth, inclusion, and love.

From decorating the tree to sharing dinner together, Christmas is about belonging and togetherness and every young person deserves to feel part of that. 💛

If you’ve ever thought about opening your home and heart, we’d love to hear from you.

Simple traditions often bring the biggest smiles. 💛

This Christmas, try a few festive activities together at home — they’re easy, fun, and full of laughter:
🎨 Make paper snowflakes for the windows
🍪 Bake simple gingerbread biscuits
🎁 Create handmade cards for friends or neighbours

It’s the small, shared moments that make the season truly special. ✨

Did you know that Ireland was one of the first countries in Europe to celebrate Christmas with a lit candle in the window? 🕯️

It’s a tradition that symbolises warmth, welcome, and hope — values that still shine bright in Irish homes today. 💛

This December, we’re celebrating the small acts of kindness that make this season so special - a warm meal shared, a comforting story, a moment of laughter, or simply offering a safe space. 💜

These gestures might seem small, but they’re what fostering is all about - care, compassion, and connection.

If you’ve been thinking about fostering, we’d love to hear from you.
Your kindness could change a life. 🌟
