JMT Fostering is a small not-for-profit organisation located in Scotland with offices in Livingston, Dundee and Glasgow. Since 1997, we have sought to make a difference for Scotland’s children and young people who are unable to remain at home. With JMT Fostering, children and young people have placements that are supported and secure because we have foster carers who are committed to making a differ

ence in their lives. If you or some one you know are interested in learning more about fostering please check out our website or call/email us for a friendly chat.

We have officially kicked off our Director’s Roadshow of 2026 this week, and the timing couldn't have been more fitting as we begin .

The highlight of our day was the opportunity to celebrate Kathryn and Alan Wright for their remarkable 20 years of service to JMT Fostering.

To provide a stable, loving home for two decades is an extraordinary commitment, and we are so grateful for the dedication they have shown to children and young people throughout their fostering journey. 💐

Today marks the start of 💜

This year’s theme, “This is Fostering”, shines a light on the real stories, experiences, and incredible impact of the fostering community.

At JMT, we see every day the difference foster carers make in the lives of children and young people by providing stability, encouragement, and a place to belong.

Over the next two weeks, we’ll be celebrating our carers, sharing stories, raising awareness, and highlighting what fostering truly means. 🫶

📢 We’re gearing up for the next Directors Roadshow, and we want to tackle a big topic: The Review and Panel process.

As a carer, you are the expert on your young person’s daily life. We want to ensure that the processes around Panels and Reviews feel collaborative, supportive, and, most importantly, childcentred.

How can we make the Panel and Review experience better for you?

👉 Are there parts of the current process that feel too heavy or stressful?

👉 How can we better ensure your voice (and the voice of your young person) is truly heard and acted upon?

💬 Got a suggestion? Drop your thoughts in the comments or send us a private message.

📢 Are you a foster carer with a young person currently moving toward Continuing Care?

Transitioning into this next stage is a huge milestone for both you and your young person, and we know it comes with its own unique set of questions.

We want to hear from you at our upcoming Directors Roadshow:

👉 What information are you missing about the Continuing Care process?

👉 What are your biggest questions about the long-term roadmap?

👉 How can we better support you and your young person during this transition?

Your lived experience is essential in helping us shape how we work. No question is too small, and if it’s on your mind, it’s worth discussing!

Some of our team recently caught up with Doreen and Richard Hunter to mark their retirement from foster care.

Doreen and Richard have dedicated a staggering 35 years to fostering, with 16 of those wonderful years as part of JMT Fostering. In that time, they have cared for 16 young people; many of which they are still in close contact with to this day.

Now in their 70s, it’s finally time for a well deserved rest! However, they won't be strangers, and you can still expect to see them sharing their wisdom at our support groups and roadshows.

Doreen and Richard, thank you for your incredible dedication, your kindness, and for being such an inspiration to us all. We wish you all the best in your retirement! 🫶

To all of our foster mums ,

Thank you for the time, care and encouragement you give to the children and young people in your homes. The difference you make every day cannot be overstated.

We hope you feel appreciated today and always. 💐

We often enter the New Year looking for ways to grow or give back. If you’ve ever felt called to do something truly meaningful, fostering could be that path. It’s a chance to turn "I’ve always thought about it" into a life-changing reality for a young person in our community.

Make 2026 the year your "fresh start" gives a child theirs.
