Story

The Foster Care Charity's 496 Challenge!

This July, we’re excited to launch FCC's 496 Challenge. It's a month-long event where each participant commits to running every day, aiming to cover a total of 496 kilometers. We’re raising vital funds for support activities for foster carers and their families.

Proudly supported by Schofield & Sons, Manchester

Two of the FCC 496 challengers, Ben and S'ya and Stephen the foster carer who inspired this fundraiser all work for Schofield & Sons. They are providing day to day support to help the 496 challengers reach their personal and fundraising goals.

Every kilometer run and every donation made brings us closer to enhancing the lives of foster carers and the children they support. Whether you decide to lace up your running shoes or contribute financially, your involvement makes a significant impact.

Foster carers are remarkable individuals who dedicate themselves daily to providing vulnerable children with safe and loving homes. Their commitment is inspiring, but it comes with many challenges, especially given the complex needs of the children they care for. That’s where we come in—to ensure foster carers have the support, skills, knowledge, and resilience they need to provide the best possible care.

By participating in the 496 Challenge or making a donation, you’ll be directly supporting essential activities for foster carers and foster families. This includes therapeutic skills training, well-being programmes, 24/7 support services, family activities and resources that empower our foster carers to thrive in their roles.

Join FCC's 496 Challenge

Let’s join forces to support our foster carers and ensure every child has the opportunity to grow up in a loving and supportive home. Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of FCC's 496 Challenge 2024. We truly appreciate your support!
