Bella is the daughter of foster carers and she has joined a group which, with the help of pedagogic social workers from the Head, Heart, Hands programme, organises events for fostered and birth children. Being part of the fostering world has introduced her to new friends as well as offering fresh challenges.

I hope you had a lovely summer. We did. I looked after two separate sibling groups. Hard work but great fun. We had lots of days out. While in one adventure park I stood next to a woman who spoke rather loudly when talking to her three young boys who appeared to be quite a handful. One thing that struck me was that she used third person when talking to them, referring to herself as Mummy – ‘Mummy told you to stay in sight,’ instead of ‘I told you to stay in sight,’ which to my ears grated.

I am Tony Round, and I am head of fundraising at The Fostering Network. I am fortunate enough to be able to work for a charity that dedicates itself to helping make life better for foster carers and fostered children and young people in care, and I want to help even more foster carers and children, so I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon.
