"I don't take anything for granted." 💙

In this heartfelt video, foster parent Anna reflects on the day a little boy, just weeks away from his fourth birthday, arrived at her home.

She shares how that moment stayed with her and why fostering has taught her never to take the everyday moments for granted.

If you've ever thought about becoming a foster carer, we'd love to hear from you.

You don't need all the answers to start your fostering journey. 💙

Many people think about fostering but wonder if they have the right experience, skills or knowledge to make a difference.

The truth is, you don't need to know everything from day one. What matters is having the willingness to learn, the ability to care, and the commitment to support a child or young person.

Start by asking the questions:
💭 Could I provide a safe and loving home?
💭 Could I help a child feel valued and understood?
💭 Could fostering be right for me and my family?

Our friendly team at AFA Fostering is here to answer your questions, provide guidance and support you every step of the way.

You don't need all the answers, you just need to start the conversation.

❓ FAQ: Can you work and foster?

Yes, you can!

Many foster parents continue to work while fostering. Whether it's possible depends on the type of fostering you provide and the needs of the child or young person in your care.

At AFA Fostering, we'll take the time to understand your individual circumstances and help you explore the fostering opportunities that could work best for you.

If you're wondering whether you could balance fostering with work, we'd love to answer your questions.

📱 The Government has announced plans to ban social media for under-16s.

The proposed measures aim to strengthen online safety, reduce children's exposure to harmful content, and encourage more time spent learning, playing and connecting offline. The changes are expected to come into force in Spring 2027.

For foster parents, supporting children and young people to navigate the digital world has always been an important part of everyday life. Whether it's setting healthy boundaries, having open conversations about online safety, or helping children build positive digital habits, trusted adults play a vital role.

Whatever your views on the proposed ban, one thing is clear: children benefit from caring adults who listen, guide and support them as they grow up in an increasingly digital world. ❤️
