Foster Care Week 2025 – Time to Care
2025-09-14 08:00 - 2025-09-20 17:00
Foster Care Week is an annual event that celebrates and raises awareness of foster care and the incredible people who provide safe, nurturing homes for children and young people in need.

The events and celebrations held during this week highlight and appreciate the valuable role of foster carers and the life-changing difference they make in the lives of vulnerable children and young people across our communities.

This year’s theme, “Time to Care”, reminds us that foster carers give their time, patience, and love every single day. With fewer carers and increasing demand, now is the time to recognise, support, and strengthen foster care.

Now, more than ever, it’s Time to Care.
