Celebrating the Impact of Fostering Relationships
Today marks the beginning of Foster Care Fortnight – the UK’s biggest campaign celebrating and raising awareness for fostering. This year’s theme, the power of relationships, couldn’t be more fitting for us at Clifford House.
At Clifford House, relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Our small, dedicated team means you’ll get to know us personally, and we take the time to understand each fostering family’s individual needs.
We’ve seen firsthand how powerful the bonds between our foster parents and children can be. We’ve also seen the strength that comes from being part of a supportive network—whether that’s our dedicated social workers, our local team, or the friendships that grow between our wonderful foster parents.
This Foster Care Fortnight, we’re sharing stories from our fostering community that show the real impact of strong, supportive relationships—and how they can make a lasting difference in people’s lives.
Discover how our foster parents are changing lives…
“What can I say, foster caring is life changing. It’s the most rewarding thing you can do. To know that you are going to impact somebody’s life for the better is one of the greatest gifts any job can give you.”
Our foster parent, Phil, is sharing his fostering story and the difference him and his wife have made to children’s lives.
“Being part of a loving family can really make them blossom and grow, they can learn so much.”
Single carer, Sarah, shares her experience of fostering children with disabilities and how much of a positive experience it is providing help and support to those who need it most.
Your Supervising Social Worker
At Clifford House, we believe strong relationships are key to successful fostering. That’s why our team takes the time to really get to know you, so we can offer support that fits your family’s unique needs.
Your supervising social worker is a central part of that relationship. They’re someone you can rely on—ready to listen, offer guidance, and stand beside you through both everyday moments and more complex challenges. With a dedicated team around you, you’re never alone on your fostering journey.
