Fostering isn’t what most people expect 💙

You don’t need to own your home, be married, or have parenting experience to become a foster carer.

What you do need is time, patience, and the ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for a child or young person.

You’ll receive full training, financial support, and guidance every step of the way.

🌈 This Pride Month, we are celebrating the invaluable contribution LGBTQ+ foster carers make across Foster for East Midlands Councils while encouraging more people to consider whether fostering could be right for them.

There is no such thing as a “typical” foster carer – what matters is the ability to offer care, stability and support. Fostering is about helping children feel understood, valued and able to be themselves.

Come and meet our fostering recruitment team at these upcoming Pride events and find out more about making a difference through fostering:

📍 Chesterfield Pride, Saturday 13 June, 1pm–5pm
Stand Road Park, Chesterfield, S41 7JB (Entry fees apply)

📍 Pride in the Peaks, Saturday 27 June, 12pm–5pm
Hall Leys Park, Matlock, DE4 3SX

📍 Notts Pride, Saturday 25 July, 12pm–4pm
Sneinton Market, Gedling Street, Nottingham, NG1 1DS

📍 Derby Pride, Saturday 12 September, 12pm–5pm
Markeaton Park, Derby (Entry fees apply)

🎉 What a busy and inspiring Foster Care Fortnight 2026! 🎉

Over the past few weeks, we’ve enjoyed a fantastic programme of activities, events and celebrations across the East Midlands. From foster carer gatherings and family fun days to information events and community activities, it’s been wonderful to come together, share experiences and celebrate fostering.

A huge thank you to all our foster carers who joined us throughout the fortnight. Your support, dedication and commitment to local children and young people are at the heart of everything we do, and it was great to have the opportunity to recognise and celebrate the difference you make every day.

Take a look back at some of the highlights from this year’s Foster Care Fortnight 👇
