Rachel Brown - Fostering for Wolverhampton
The Chris Allen Podcast
Tuesday, 29 October 2024 - 11 minutes
Fostering can mean everything to those involved – that is the message of a powerful new fostering film, Everything.
‘Everything’ is the seventh film produced by a growing partnership of councils and children’s trusts to promote local authority fostering.
Everything – which can be seen at www.fosteringforwolverhampton.com – follows foster carer Mike and his family on a journey through time with two of the children they have looked after, who are now adults.
The concluding message of the film is that what you do with your life could forever change someone else’s – encouraging people to foster in order to make that change.
The film was developed with the input and insight of foster parents and people with care experience, produced by Reel TwentyFive and project managed by public sector media partner CAN/Rachel Brown.
Project Director Rachel Brown said: “Many people don’t realise how common it is for relationships made through fostering to last well beyond the ‘official’ caring role. This has a huge impact on the lives of those who have been fostered, giving them stability and security well into adulthood.
“We also wanted to reflect how the children of foster carers make a difference to children when they come into care, helping them to feel part of the family.
“Fostering with your local council means you can better support local children and young people who need a safe and nurturing home where they can grow and thrive.”
