Achieving for Children

05/02/2026

February marks (9 to 15 Feb) and as part of that, we’re highlighting Tellmi: a safe, anonymous app for young people to share their feelings without judgment.

This year’s theme is ‘This is My Place’ - and for many, that safe place is Tellmi 💙

Here's how it works ⬇️

1⃣ Post anonymously
2⃣ Get support from peers
3⃣ Stay safe with human moderation

"‘I actually didn’t realise how much better this app can make someone feel. I love being able to ask my own questions and just the experience of trying to help even one other person helps me to feel happier too.’ - Tellmi User 💛

Tellmi is completely confidential and can be downloaded for free from the Apple Store or Google Play, or accessed via Tellmi's web app: https://tellmi.app/landing

Download. Offload. Feel better.

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at the Rose Theatre for hosting our foster carer support group in the beautiful David Jacobs Room - and for generously gifting tickets for our carers and children to enjoy Cinderella on Monday.

Your kindness helps create magical moments for our families. 💙✨

It was wonderful to see so many AfC Fostering families enjoying the ice skating event hosted by LAFSE at Alexandra Gardens, Windsor.

We really got into the festive spirit! ❄️⛸️ Here’s our Natasha enjoying the day and making the most of the winter fun.

At Christmas, AfC Fostering holds an event for our foster carer families. This includes a meal, Santa's grotto, presents and festive games. ☃️

This year we will use the Community Matters funding to provide transport to the carers that live further away from the venue, who would otherwise not be able to attend.

A huge thank you to John Lewis & Partners and Waitrose & Partners for championing our cause and helping us create brighter futures for children and young people in our care. 💛
