        September Round-Up 🌟

        Extensive training and development
        Fostering allowance from £450 p/w
        Excellent support 24/7
        A friendly and highly experienced team

        What a summer it’s been! A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our adventures — from camp on Mersea Island, to beach day fun, to our forest BBQ in Thetford. We couldn’t have asked for better company or better weather!

        But with September comes a return to school runs, packed lunches and the familiar buzz of routine. We’re so proud of all our children for settling back in so brilliantly — a huge well done to you all, but a special mention to T, who has received SEVEN positive referrals for academic achievement in lessons👏

        This month we also had the pleasure of welcoming not one, but two new supervising social workers to the team. A very warm welcome to Sue and Sam — we’re delighted to have you join the EFS family!

        Training & Learning

        September has been a busy month for training too:

        • Preparation to Foster Course
          We hosted our two-day course for potential new carers, giving an honest and open insight into fostering — the highs, the challenges, and everything in between. From real-life case studies to a session on attachment and development, plus a Q&A with some of our amazing carers, it was a truly valuable couple of days. Thank you to everyone who attended — we hope it gave you plenty of food for thought!

        Careapy Training
        Our therapist Michelle led another brilliant Careapy session. It is designed not only to help carers understand and cope with the children they look after, but also to emphasise the importance of self-care and self-knowledge, which improves carer well-being and as a result, equips the carer to better support their children and young people.

        Star of the Month

        This month’s star is K — for starting secondary school with such confidence and completing every bit of homework with a smile. Your positive attitude is inspiring — keep it up!

        A Special Shout-Out 💙

        We’d also like to give a huge cheer to our wonderful foster carer Jason, who is taking on an incredible challenge: running 10K every day for 28 days! Jason is raising funds to create a professional website and podcast to shine a light on fostering and share its many stories. What an amazing effort! If you’d like to support Jason’s challenge, you can donate here: GoFundMe Link.

        Here’s to a great start to autumn — we can’t wait to see what October brings! 🍂
