The idea
We aim to expand our initiative by organising more events and trips for the broader fostering community, integrating both looked after children and birth family members. These inclusive activities will foster stronger connections, support resilience, and boost confidence among young people, giving them a chance to bond with peers who share similar life experiences. By providing purposeful gatherings, we can help them cope with early trauma while celebrating their unique journeys, creating enriching experiences for fostering families and their birth children.
