Foster Care Fortnight 2026

This is fostering!

Hundreds of families across the Bradford district are quietly changing lives by opening their homes to children and young people who are unable to live with their birth families.

Foster Care Fortnight is the UK’s biggest awareness-raising campaign about fostering and this year, we celebrating the extraordinary impact foster carers have on children’s lives every day.

More foster carers are needed across the Bradford district to make sure every child can be matched with the right home to meet their needs.

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to hear from our foster carers and fostering colleagues about what fostering is to them.
