☀️🏃‍♀️ Games, laughter and a little friendly competition! 💚

Our foster family celebration day at in Blackburn was the perfect opportunity to get outside, enjoy the sunshine and have some fun together!

The field was full of energy as foster children, birth children and foster carers joined in with a whole host of games and activities. From bouncing and sliding on the bouncy slide, to some seriously competitive tug of war 💪, there were plenty of opportunities to get involved, have a laugh and make memories together!

It was fantastic to see children playing together, making new connections and enjoying themselves — while foster carers got stuck in too! After all, who says the adults can't have just as much fun? 😄

Days like this are a wonderful reminder of the importance of community, connection and celebrating the amazing families who open their homes and hearts to children and young people.

A huge thank you to for helping us make it such a fantastic day. 🌿💚

🦙 Meet Nigel! 🦙💚

Our recent foster family celebration day at in Blackburn had a very special group of guests… the llamas! 😍

Foster carers, foster children and birth children had the chance to get up close with these wonderful animals, including the very lovely Nigel! 🦙

Attendees were able to walk the llamas, spend time getting to know them and, of course, give them plenty of fuss and cuddles. There were lots of smiles, plenty of laughter and some very happy llamas along the way! ☀️🌿

Alongside our llama adventures, families enjoyed games in the field, face painting and lunch together — creating a fantastic day to celebrate the amazing foster carers across Blackburn with Darwen and the difference they make to children and young people.

A huge thank you to for helping us create such a positive and memorable day. 💚

As children prepare for going back to school, packing bags, choosing uniforms and feeling the excitement of a new term, some face more than just first day nerves.

For some children, returning to school can mean stepping into the classroom without stability, encouragement or a sense of belonging.

With care, support and love, you can help a child feel safe, supported and believed in so they can focus on learning, growing and reaching their potential.

Every child deserves someone in their corner. Could you be that person?

Hello September 💛

As summer comes to an end, September brings new routines, fresh starts and new opportunities to make a difference.

This month, we’ll continue sharing stories from our incredible foster carers, highlighting the support available when you foster with your local council and raising awareness of the growing need for more foster carers across Lancashire and Cumbria.

Every new beginning starts with a single step and for some children, that step begins with a foster carer opening their home.
