ALL ABOUT
Foster Care in Kent
FOSTER CARE FORTNIGHT, WHICH RUNS FROM MAY 13TH-26TH, IS TWO WEEKS DEDICATED TO A
FOCUS ON FOSTERING, WHAT FOSTERING ENTAILS AND WHY IT’S SO ESSENTIAL. OF COURSE,
FOSTERING IS IMPORTANT EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO MANY THOUSANDS
OF CHILDREN – AND THEIR FOSTER PARENTS – THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, BUT IT IS DURING THIS
PARTICULAR TWO WEEKS THAT FOSTER AGENCIES ARE VERY KEEN TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE
KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT FOSTERING IS ALL ABOUT AND WHY. IF FOSTERING IS A SUITABLE OPTION
FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, IT’S A HUGELY WORTHWHILE THING TO DO.
