Weekend fostering - a new approach to building lasting relationships for children in care
10 June | 11.30am - 1pm | Zoom
The Weekenders Programme by Now Foster is a new approach to fostering that offers consistent weekend care, building lasting relationships between new foster carers and children in care. This session will introduce the programme’s approach, how it operates across Greater London to support children in care orders, kinship and SGO care, and what we've learned so far. Designed in partnership with care-experienced young people, Weekenders responds directly to their needs and hopes. This event offers a chance to explore what's possible in fostering and how we bring more loving adults and relationships to the lives of care-experienced young people.
