A big thank you
We’ve reached the end of Foster Care Fortnight 2023. It seems to fly past faster each year! This year the theme was #Fostering communities and we have had real fun celebrating the fantastic fostering community at Eastern Fostering Services.
Over the last two weeks, we’ve posted blogs from foster carers, videos from carers and the team, and information about our community at Eastern Fostering Services and how we look after the carers and children at its centre.
Lots of you have liked, shared and commented on our posts and sent us messages of encouragement; we wanted to thank you sincerely for this. It makes a big difference.
For those of you who are foster carers already, we also want to thank you for the incredible work you do for the most vulnerable children. You work so very hard to advocate for them emotionally and educationally. You support them to maintain important family relationships as well as meeting their practical and spiritual needs. We really appreciate everything you do!
Of course, we still have much work to do. We are always looking for more motivated and committed people to foster so that we can make the very best matches possible for the young people and children who need a loving home.
If you are tempted, but want more information, you may want to read some of our blogs at your leisure so we include these for you below.
Once you are ready to speak to us about fostering, you can contact us on 01206 299775 or email us at team@easternfosteringservices.com. We’d be delighted to answer your questions!
Many thanks and wishing you a happy, healthy summer, perhaps with the promise of a new journey into fostering!

Director Eastern Fostering Services
