Looking back at 2025: A reflection

Commitment, compassion and resilience

Throughout the year, we’ve taken every opportunity to come together and recognise the commitment, compassion, and resilience that runs through our fostering family. We’ve celebrated milestones, hosted events, and created moments that reminded us why community matters so much — not just in the big achievements, but in the everyday successes, shared laughter, and the support we offer one another.

2025 has also been especially meaningful as we celebrated our 20th year. Reaching this anniversary has given us the chance to pause and reflect on two decades of dedication, growth, and life-changing care. It’s a milestone that belongs to every foster carer who has opened their home, every young person who has shown courage and determination, and every member of staff who has worked tirelessly to provide support, guidance, and stability.

Celebrations, fun and connection

We’ve hosted events that brought people together in ways that felt genuinely special — creating space for celebration, fun, and connection. These moments have been about more than just activities; they’ve been opportunities for foster carers to feel recognised, for young people to feel included and valued, and for everyone to feel part of something bigger.

As we step into a new year, we carry forward the energy and positivity of 2025. We’re reminded that fostering is built on relationships — and that every day, our fostering community shows what it means to care, to encourage, and to believe in brighter futures.

Thank you

Thank you to every foster carer, young person, and member of our wider community who has been part of our journey this year — and over the last 20 years. Here’s to everything we’ve achieved together, and to everything still to come.
