Foster carers don’t always make headlines, yet they change lives every day.
This #FosterCareFortnight, I’ve signed an Early Day Motion in Parliament to honour their work and support a national foster care strategy.
Thank you, carers, for all you do.

💛 “They were the bridge between our old and new lives.”
As part of #FosterCareFortnight, we asked our adopters to share their relationships with the foster carers who helped shape their family. The responses are moving, honest, and full of love.

A woman and a child smiling while looking at a book together, with a Letterbox Club parcel nearby, plus a quote from foster carer Amanda: "I think knowing that other people - whether they're real people or characters in a book - have had the same lived experiences is important for children in care'
It's #FosterCareFortnight, but did you know that our #LetterboxClub has been supporting children in foster care for over 20 years?

Postcards from the children in Story Explorers, plus an illustration of a smiling ladybird and the Story Explorers logo. There are three postcards cycling through - the children have circled an emoji with heart eyes to indicate how they feel about Story Explorers, while when asked how reading makes them feel they say "Happy + rainbow", "Happy", and "Happy" with a smiley face drawing
In #FosterCareFortnight, did you know that our #StoryExplorers book subscription is designed for children in foster, kinship & adoptive families?

#FosterCareFortnight
Foster carers build strong trusting relationships with the children in their care. These bonds are like those built in #PlayTherapy. Both relationships are therapeutic in nature and can help create stability, trust, a sense of self and confidence for the future.

A photo of a woman and a child sharing a book plus a quote from a Fostering Practitioner: "If they’ve had a really difficult or challenging day, just sitting down for 10 minutes reading a book together before going to bed could perhaps improve, restore or repair relationships"
In #FosterCareFortnight, find out how shared reading can have huge benefits for children in foster care.
Research shows sharing stories supports bonding, stability, identity, wellbeing, social & emotional growth and attainment:
