Foster Care Fortnight may be over, but fostering continues every day.
Carole, one of our Mockingbird Hub Home carers, has kindly shared a glimpse into a recent weekend in her own words.
My husband and I became Mockingbird Hub Home carers 15 months ago, and since then an amazing fostering family has grown made up of nine families we support in different ways. This weekend, we had sleepovers for a 14‑year‑old and an 11‑year‑old, giving their carer the chance to enjoy a birthday weekend away. We had a wonderful time together baking chocolate cake and cookies, with the children leading every step, from shopping to measuring ingredients. I was even shown how to make a movable dragon puppet, I learn so much from these children!

Sunday was our monthly social day, where all the families come together. This time, we visited the beach, with 11 adults and 19 children joining in. Despite the weather, it felt like one big family. The children are growing up together, like cousins, and spend time together happily regardless of age or background. There was food, games, exploring — and plenty of teamwork trying to catch the biggest crab!

Moments like these show how much our Mockingbird family has grown. Carers support one another, children feel safe and comfortable, and most importantly everyone has fun together.

This is Fostering.
