There are days when fostering feels challenging, helping a child through big emotions, building trust, and creating new routines. Then something shifts: a smile, a laugh, a tiny “thank you”… and suddenly, it all makes sense.

Our foster carers often say it’s the small wins that matter most, because every hurdle a child overcomes with your support is a step towards a brighter future.

Shape a local child's future and foster with your local council.

It’s been just over two years since Joe Swash: Teens in Care aired on The BBC📺

Aiden’s story still sticks with us, especially the snow globe and little soldiers he showed Joe. They might not mean much to others, but they’re precious to him. They’re part of his memories, his childhood, and his journey.

If Aiden’s story moved you back then, we encourage you to watch again and consider how you could help shape a local child’s future.
