What a fantastic Friday morning with Heath Farm Fostering! 🍫💕

Our carers had so much fun crafting chocolate lollipops, decorating slabs, dipping strawberries and rolling truffles in tasty toppings — a truly sweet celebration!

Add in a birthday and plenty of laughter, and it was the perfect recipe for joy. 🌷

Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

What a wonderful day celebrating our amazing children and young people at the Fostering Solutions Wales Children’s Awards! 💕

We loved recognising their achievements — from education and activities to personal growth and resilience. Everyone had a fantastic time (and some very brave souls even held snakes and lizards! 🦎).

It’s so special to come together and celebrate the incredible things our young people do every day. 🌷

Fostering Relations are so proud of their wonderful foster carer Marisol (Sol) Carreno, who’s been performing with the amazing Sing in The City choir 🎶💕.

From the Edinburgh Military Tattoo to the Usher Hall, Sol has truly shone this summer! Singing brings her joy, friendship and allows her to unwind, connect, and shine — and we’re so proud of all she’s achieved! 🌸.

Recentley, we ignited a spark of self-love with Sarah from Temple Spa, who led our carers in a transformative self-care session that left them feeling revitalized and empowered!

Following on from this, we gifted our team a well-deserved break to unwind and recharge, because they work tirelessly behind the scenes to make a difference in the lives of our carers and the children in our care.

A brief but blissful rest before our team meeting was the perfect way to refuel and refocus. The video footage says it all - they throughly enjoyed the expereince

Thank you sarah 💆‍♀️✨

After experiencing a difficult childhood, Fiza knew from a very young age that she wanted to open her home to children that needed a safe place to land.

Since being approved to foster in 2014, Fiza and her family have gone on to care for many children, from a three day old baby to a 17 year old young offender.

Wondering if you have what it takes to be a foster carer? Fiza says resilience, patience and a willingness to learn are key, and we couldn’t agree more ✨
