Groups and events
Our local foster carers are invited to attend regular daytime and evening support groups. The groups are a place where foster carers can share their experiences and help to support each other in their fostering roles.
We hold a range of activities throughout the year to thank our fostering families for their hard work and dedication. This includes an annual dinner dance where we present long service awards to foster carers who have been with us for 10 years or more to recognise their loyalty and commitment to fostering.
Other events that we've held previously include:
- a day out to Blackpool Pleasure Beach
- a trip to The Chill Factore
- a trip to Jump Nation
Some of the activities are organised as part of the Sons and Daughters campaign which recognises the children of foster carers and rewards them for the important role that they play.
