Welcome to Blackpool Council's fostering blog

It’s Foster Care Fortnight and we’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to our amazing foster carers who make such a positive impact to local children in Blackpool.

Fostering can mean everything to those involved. That’s the message of a heartwarming short fostering film produced by more than 100 councils including Blackpool Council.

People can find out how they can support local children at an online fostering information event next week.

A new recruitment hub has been launched to recruit urgently needed foster carers across Lancashire and Cumbria.

Next week marks the start of Foster Care Fortnight, an annual campaign that aims to raise the profile of fostering and highlight the incredible work foster carers do to transform children’s lives.

A Blackpool Council short film project encouraging people to become a foster carer received two prestigious awards recently.
