What started as short‑term fostering became something more for Sid and his family. From building trust over time to supporting identity and faith, fostering is about creating a place where children feel safe to be themselves. 🌍💛 “It took time… but we earned their trust by showing up every day.” Sid’s story is rich with care and cultural connection - understanding who a child is and what they need. That’s what fostering is all about. This Foster Care Fortnight, we’re celebrating the diversity of fostering and why representation matters. #ThisIsFostering #FCF26

After 35 years of working with people with disabilities, fostering brought something new to Trish and Phil’s lives. A chance to slowly and patiently build connection. 🤍 Small moments, like cooking together, help build trust and make a child feel safe. Listening. Adapting. Meeting children where they are. Through MATTs (Multi‑disciplinary Assessment, Treatment and Therapy Service), professionals work alongside foster carers - offering guidance, training and practical strategies to support children in a therapeutic way. This Foster Care Fortnight, we’re shining a light on the real experiences of fostering and the support carers need to continue this vital work. #ThisIsFostering #FCF26 #FosterCareFortnight #MATTs

If you’ve ever thought about fostering but worried you’re “not enough”, this post is for you 🤍 We’re so used to seeing perfection, especially on social media. But real life isn’t like that. And neither is fostering. Fostering is about showing up every day. Consistency matters far more than perfection. It’s about creating stability in small, everyday ways: the same breakfast the same bedtime routine the same adult, there day after day You are enough. Just by being you. This is fostering. #CapstoneFosterCare #Fostering #ThisIsFostering #FosterCareFortnight #FCF26

Right now, something doesn’t add up.⠀ In 2021, there were 63,890 foster carer’s in England.⠀ By 2025, that number had fallen to 56,245.⠀ Meanwhile, the number of children and young people needing care has continued to rise 📈⠀ This year’s theme for Foster Care Fortnight is This is Fostering. And, it couldn’t be more important.⠀ The reality is that too many children are waiting for a safe place to call home.⠀ Fostering is about creating that safety. 🏠💛⠀ Could you be someone who does that?⠀ Share with someone who does.⠀ #FosterCareFortnight #FCF26 #ThisIsFostering

A little encouragement can go a long way 💌 Sandy, our Registered Manager at Capstone Foster Care UK, has been busy handwriting good luck cards for our amazing children and young people preparing for their SATs, GCSEs and A-Levels. To all of you sitting exams: remember how far you’ve come. Stay focused, believe in yourself, and do your best - that’s all anyone can ask. We’re all cheering you on! Good luck everyone 🍀✨

Here at Capstone Foster Care, we know that some of the best conversations happen side by side, rather than face to face. Walking together gives you the space to talk, listen, or simply enjoy each other’s company, without any pressure. 🚶‍♀️ So this National Walking Month, why not try a walk and talk… or even a walk and don’t talk? You might be surprised where it leads you. 🌿✨ #CapstoneFosterCare

Our Parent and Child Coffee morning was a chance for families to chat and be present with one another. Building friendships and connections that go beyond the cuppa. 💛 It's moments like these that remind us why community matters so much in fostering. #FosterCare #FosteringUK #CapstoneFosterCare #FosterFamily #CommunityMatters
