Foster care moments

Foster Care Fortnight 2024

Monday 13th May - Sunday 26th May 2024


Foster Care Fortnight is the UK’s biggest foster care awareness raising campaign, delivered by leading fostering charity, The Fostering Network. Established in 1997, the campaign showcases the commitment, passion and dedication of foster carers. It also supports fostering services to highlight the need for more foster carers. Thousands of new foster families are needed every year to care for children, with the greatest need being for foster carers for older children, sibling groups, disabled children and unaccompanied asylum seeking children.

Running from Monday 13 May - Sunday 26 May 2024, our theme this year is #FosteringMoments.


During Foster Care Fortnight 2024 we want to celebrate the moments that define fostering journeys, big and small. The moments that built confidence, made young people feel safe and created memories.  

Throughout the fortnight we will encourage people across the fostering community to share the moments that have mattered to them. For foster carers, this might be the moment they were approved as a foster carer, or the moment a young person in their care hugged them for the first time. We want to show that every moment matters in fostering.  

Whether you’re a foster carer, a social worker, young person, Fostering Friendly employer or supporter of foster care, you are part of a community making a real difference to the lives of young people, and we want you all to get involved in the Foster Care Fortnight celebration.  


We want to hear from you!

Have you got a fostering memory or moment you want to share? Then email them in to us and we will share your memories and moments on social media!
