Celebrating Children of Foster Carers' Week - 13th -19th October 2025
At Three Circles Fostering, we’re proud to be joining The Fostering Network’s annual Children of Foster Carers' Week—a special time to recognise and celebrate the incredible role that the birth children of foster carers play in fostering households across the UK.
From Monday 13th to Sunday 19th October 2025, we’ll be taking the opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you to the children and young people in our fostering families who help make others feel welcome, safe, and at home.
Why This Week Matters
Behind every foster carer is a family, and within that family are often children who share their space, their time, and their hearts. At Three Circles, we’ve seen first-hand how the children of foster carers often become unsung heroes—offering kindness, patience, and understanding to children placed in their homes.
They help others settle in, share their toys and routines, and often provide the stability and friendship that makes all the difference. Fostering isn’t always easy, and that’s why it’s so important that we pause to acknowledge just how valuable their contribution is.
How We’re Celebrating at Three Circles
This year, we’ll be:
Sending thank you letters and a small gift to the children of our foster carers
Encouraging carers and staff to highlight the role these young people play in their families
Continuing to invite all young people to our amazing events
Why It’s So Important
For families considering fostering, one of the biggest questions is often, “How will this affect my own children?” Children of Foster Carers' Week helps challenge the assumption that fostering will be too disruptive—and shows how, with the right support, it can be a positive, enriching experience for everyone in the household.
It’s also a reminder to us, as a fostering service, to keep listening to the voices of children of foster carers. Their experience matters, and when they feel heard and supported, it strengthens the whole family.
Thank You
To all the children and young people in our Three Circles families who help make fostering possible—thank you. You are an essential part of the work we do, and this week is for you.
Let’s celebrate you, listen to you, and make sure you know how valued you truly are.
