Fundraising to Support Foster Children and their Families

As a group we will be raising money to provide support for Foster Children and their families, including biological families, foster families and adoptive families. This support will include improving resource access for foster families, mental health support for children going through the system and providing a foundation for those who are close to ageing out of the system so that they can be better prepared for the real world. 

This cause is incredibly important as the number of children in care is continually rising each year and every year thousands of new foster families are needed. Statistics show that around 38,000 more children enter the foster care system over the course of 12 months, that is one child every 15 minutes who could need a foster family. As of 31st March 2024, 56,390 children were living with foster families in England. The majority of those who are ageing out of the foster care system do not get the necessary life skills and help to improve the quality of their long-term life. 

Summary:

By supporting this cause, you will be contributing to helping provide the necessary education and skills for those who are ready to age out of the foster care system in order to prepare them for life after foster care. We really encourage and appreciate any donations and other forms of support for this cause as it is a continuously growing problem with the amount of children in need of care and are unable to get the correct support in order to improve their lives post-foster care.
