“It was something I was so proud to have been a part of…watching them grow up and move into their forever home”.
21-year-old Caitlin is a child of foster carers and she's shared her #FosteringMoment with us for #FCF24. We’re sure a lot of fostering families will relate! 💖

⭐️ DEBUT SONG ⭐️
I’m delighted to share my song with you. This is all about my @NickBarwick first night of going into foster care but it’s also a song in mind for anyone who’s struggled and had to overcome adversity!
RT’s appreciated!

I am thankful for @CFosterCare giving me a fantastic first opportunity to providing my lived experience in fostering services. In Jan 19 I began working with CFC as an independent foster panel member and continue to do this with them.

Every 15 minutes a child enters the care system, many having their worldly belongings moved in black bin bags. For every Madlug bag purchased, a pack-away bag is given to a child in care, reminding to them that they have huge value, worth, and the right to travel with dignity ❤️

21% of pupils are on Free School Meals.
Yet Conservatives would rather blame Critical Race Theory for children’s hunger than Own the political decisions they made to scrap Sure Start; close libraries & after school provision; cut per pupil funding; cut EMA & treble tuition fees

Day 1 of Foster Care Fortnight #WhyWeCare I’m a 25 year old, single, male foster carer for children/young people with disabilities. I work and live in rented accommodation. Don’t rule yourself out because you don’t think you are a stereotypical foster carer. #FCF21

We adopted this amazing 7 year old(now 8)one year ago from foster care. She had never swung a golf club or played any sport. She has been through a lot in her short life, but is still happy every single day! Being her dad is the greatest gift I could ever receive!

Yet another example of a lack of compassion, lack of understanding and community discrimination against children who through no fault of their own are in care. We wonder why care experenced children tell us they feel stigmatised, different and unloved. 💔 #Swansea #CareExperenced
