Foster Care Fortnight: 11–24 May
Foster Care Fortnight runs from 11th to 24th May and is the UK’s largest annual campaign to raise awareness of fostering and celebrate the incredible difference foster carers make.
Led by The Fostering Network, Foster Care Fortnight shines a spotlight on the vital role foster carers play, while also encouraging people to think about whether fostering could be right for them. Over the two weeks, Lincolnshire Fostering Service will be sharing stories, information and opportunities to raise awareness about fostering and the many ways it can change lives.

Online fostering information events
We’re also continuing to promote our online fostering information events, which are a great first step for anyone curious about fostering. These sessions cover what fostering involves, the different types of fostering available, the support offered and give attendees the chance to ask questions in a relaxed environment.
The next online information event takes place on 21 May.
