Take part in our competition - what does 'This is Fostering' mean to you?
Foster Care Fortnight – the UK’s biggest awareness-raising campaign for fostering – runs from 11 to 24 May 2026. This year’s theme is This is Fostering – celebrating and raising awareness of the different stories across the fostering community.
Bring the theme to life by creating a piece of art that represents what ‘This is Fostering’ means to you. What does fostering look like in your life? Who does it involve? What impact has it had on you?
You could create a poem, a drawing, a collage, a painted rock, screenshots of a game, a short video – or anything else you can imagine to respond to the theme ‘This is Fostering’
