Fostering conference celebrations in Bexley
Bexley’s Fostering Team held a ‘Fostering Moments’ conference on 17 May as part of their activities during Foster Care Fortnight

The conference welcomed staff, foster carers, young people with care experience and birth children in celebration and recognition of sharing #FosteringMoments

The event featured a series of inspiring keynote speeches from foster carers, young people, Bexley’s Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, Cllr Philip Read and Director of Children’s Services, Stephen Kitchman.

Every child we've welcomed into our home has left an indelible mark on our hearts," a foster carer shared. 

The joy of seeing them thrive and succeed is immeasurable," another carer added.

This event has not only highlighted the incredible stories of our foster carers but also reinforced our collective commitment to supporting and advocating for the needs of foster children. We are inspired by the stories shared today and look forward to continuing this important work together.
