As Volunteers’ Week comes to an end, we want to say one more heartfelt thank you to all our volunteers.

To our Independent Visitors — your commitment, consistency and care help create a sense of stability and belonging for children and young people in care.
What you do might feel simple — a regular meet‑up, a shared activity, a listening ear — but the impact is anything but.

💛 You help build confidence
💛 You create lasting memories
💛 You show young people they matter

And that is something worth celebrating — this week and every week.

Throwing it back to 2016 and these beautifully hand‑designed fostering Christmas cards 🎄✨

Created by children, these cards are full of colour, creativity and personality — a reminder of how powerful it is to give young people space to express themselves.
Moments like this capture what fostering is all about:
💛 Encouraging creativity
💛 Building confidence
💛 Creating happy, shared memories
It’s amazing to look back and see how these small, joyful projects become part of a much bigger story.
Do you remember these cards?

Independent Visitors share what the role really means — from building trust and confidence to simply spending time together and having fun. 💙

Children and young people in care often ask for:
✨ Someone who listens
✨ Someone reliable
✨ Someone to spend time with
✨ Someone who cares

Could you be that person?

Independent Visitors are volunteers who offer friendship and support to children and young people in care across Surrey, through regular monthly visits.
