This is fostering.
It is the early morning school run after a difficult night. It is the patient conversation, the consistent presence, the small moment of trust that takes months to build. It is the decision to show up, every single day, for a young person who needs you.
Foster Fortnight is a moment in the sector calendar that shines a light on stories like these. At FosterTalk, we believe those stories deserve to be celebrated every month of the year.
That is why we run the FosterTalk Spotlight Awards. Each month, we recognise a member of the FosterTalk community who has gone above and beyond, whether that is a carer, a social worker, or a young person making their mark. The winner receives a £50 One4All voucher and is featured in our newsletter, You're Not Home Alone.
If you feel someone deserves to be celebrated, we would love to hear about them. Nominations are open to everyone in the FosterTalk community - just visit https://fostertalk.org/the-fostertalk-spotlight-awards/
