Training and events

Monday, 13 May, 2024

Our annual Foster Care Fortnight campaign is just over a month away (13-26 May) and we’ve been busy preparing some really exciting events to help celebrate the fostering community.

Throughout the fortnight we’ll be making as much noise about foster care as possible and thanking foster carers for everything they do to support children and young people. This year the theme for Foster Care Fortnight is #FosteringMoments, so we’ll be celebrating the moments that define fostering journeys, big and small.

You can get involved by attending our celebratory brunch at Stormont in Belfast, or joining our Foster Walk led by Olympic javelin legend Fatima Whitbread.

If you’re unable to take part in either of these events but would still like to celebrate #FosteringMoments with us, then click the link to find out how.
