Fostering means everything

Fostering has a lifelong impact on the lives of children and young people. It can mean everything to those involved.

We’ve collaborated with over 100 councils and children’s trusts to produce a powerful national film to promote local authority fostering.

Everything’ highlights the long-term benefits fostering can have, with relationships between foster families and children lasting well into adulthood.

Follow foster carer Mike and family on a journey through time with two of the children they have looked after. A surprise 60th birthday party for Mike gives Will and Zara chance to reflect on how fostering changed their lives.

Developed with foster carers and people with care experience, the film highlights the vital role foster carers play.

Nationally, there is a shortage of fostering households. By collaborating to produce this emotionally powerful film, we aim to show people how rewarding and life-changing fostering is.

In Calderdale, we’re always on the lookout for passionate people to become part of our fostering community.

Your love, care and support could mean 'everything' to child or young person in Calderdale.
