Foster Carers
Association
Essential peer
support
Foster Carers Associations (FCAs) provide support and information for foster carers across the country. At Fostering Barnsley, we work with an amazing FCA.
They provide a year-round calendar of educational and fun activities for our children, young people and fostering families.
Read how the Foster Carers Association describes themselves by reading their amazing blog.
"Our events are equally
beneficial to our children
and young people, and
the fostering families
they have joined."
Foster Carers Association
The FCA events are equally beneficial to the children and young people as well as the fostering families they have joined. These activities and days out give our children the opportunity to meet other children and young people in similar situations to themselves. It helps give them a sense of community, spirit and wellbeing, boosts their self-esteem and confidence and helps them to thrive and move forward on their own journey in life.
They also meet every month and share information up to the leadership team here at Barnsley and out to foster carers to support our fostering families and to improve the services offered to them.
