As evenings grow cooler and the rhythm of autumn sets in, it’s the perfect time to reflect – and to consider how you might make a lasting difference in a child’s life.

As the evenings draw in and the pace of autumn settles around us, many of us find ourselves slowing down, spending more time at home, and reconnecting with the things that matter most. It’s a season for reflection – and perhaps, a moment to ask yourself a quiet but powerful question:

Could I open my home and heart to a child in care?

This free, relaxed online session is designed to help you explore that question in a supportive and pressure-free space. Whether fostering has been on your mind for years or you’re just beginning to consider it, this is a chance to learn more about what it really involves – from the practicalities to the emotional rewards.

At Origins Foster Care, we believe fostering is about ordinary people doing something extraordinary: offering stability, compassion, and a sense of belonging to a child when they need it most. This evening session will guide you through the fostering journey and show you how we walk alongside you from your very first enquiry, every step of the way.

What to Expect

Explore All Types of Fostering

From respite and emergency care to long-term placements, we’ll explain the different paths to becoming a foster carer – and how each one can change a life.

Step-by-Step Guidance

Learn how the process works, from your first enquiry to becoming an approved carer. We’ll also outline the supports Origins provides:

  • Trauma-informed training
  • Financial assistance
  • Therapeutic supports
  • A dedicated Link Worker for every carer

Hear from a Foster Carer

You’ll meet one of our experienced carers, who will share their personal fostering story – the challenges, the transformations, and the powerful moments that make it all worthwhile. There’ll be time for Q&A too.

Why Join Us Now?

As we move into the heart of autumn, it’s a season for reflection, care, and connection. If you’ve ever thought about fostering – or even if this is your first time considering it – this session will give you the information, reassurance, and inspiration to take the next step.

Join us for a cosy, insightful evening of learning and connection – and discover the power of fostering with Origins Foster Care.
