Raising a cuppa to fostering communities

To kick off Foster Care Fortnight™, Foster4 hosted a special afternoon tea event last week celebrating the Foster4 fostering community across Cheshire.

The event was held at Doubletree by Hilton in Chester and was attended by our foster carers, their families, friends and senior managers from each of the local authorities.

Attendees were treated to a delightful afternoon tea with an assortment of sandwiches, cakes, and teas. During the event, there was also a presentation ceremony to honour foster carers who received awards for their exceptional service to fostering.

Foster carers were presented with certificates and gifts and were praised for their resilience and dedication in providing the highest standards of care to vulnerable, local children.
