Earlier this month, we hosted a special event to honour our incredible foster carers and foster children.

We were fortunate to have Councillor Mutton, the Lord Mayor of Coventry, and Sukriti Sen, Director of Children and Education Services, join us in celebrating the outstanding contributions of our foster carers and presenting awards to some truly amazing individuals.

Last week, our team had the opportunity to attend the launch of this year’s fostering film, 'Everything'.
