Happy #WorldBookDay! Reading with a child is incredibly important, not just for reading skill & imagination but to aid emotional development & create happy memories. This is why we encourage all our foster carers to promote reading & education to the children in their care.

[Foster for NLFC @FosterForNLFC]

Wasn't it a great piece! Even though one of the children featured had sadly had quite a traumatic journey the whole item was full of positivity.

Amazing! One Show w/ Antique Rd Show's Ronnie talking about his happy time in care (12 min mark) Brilliant he says being asked what he wanted for dinner was incredible - he'd never been asked before. Shows that sometimes its those simple things that count! https://t.co/MK7pORHLwG

[Foster for NLFC @FosterForNLFC]

Brilliant series and excellent episode!

[Islington Fostering @Isfostering]

Each episode has been great but this one is amazing. Love how this raises awareness & represents the looked after but through a lens focusing squarely on who the person is rather than the system. https://t.co/mElsA0VRgQ

[Islington Fostering @Isfostering]

Another brill illustration from @dlewiscartoons of our carers at the recent thank you lunch! Unashamedly using to promo our info session this week, Weds 20 July 6pm at Islington Town Hall. Pop in for a cool drink and to hear from our foster carers about this incredible role.

[Islington Fostering @Isfostering]

Great piece by experienced Islington carer Walt busting huge fostering myth: can I foster if I am LGBT? Spoiler: you can! Indepth piece also highlighting the brilliant rewards & growth fostering has given to his own life enrichment. Don't hold back, foster https://t.co/fFDR6X6am9

[Foster for NLFC @FosterForNLFC]

Excellent, we love it!

[Islington Fostering @Isfostering]

For Pride I want to r/p this great quote from our ace carer Walt. Its brilliant & the core of being a foster carer: we welcome people of any culture, faith, ethnicity, status or lifestyle but what really interests us is your ability to keep a child safe & support & nurture them.

Great myth busting from our friends at @lgbtadoptfoster

It's Foster Care Fortnight. If you're LGBTQ+ in the UK you can foster or adopt. Today we're sharing our podcast ep that showcases Nowal and Sarah's story. They are a same-gender Muslim couple who foster. 🏳️‍🌈 #ProudToFoster https://t.co/149WqcV7dQ

[Foster for NLFC @FosterForNLFC]

Well done Islington, this is a great scheme. Relationships matter! #fcf22

[Islington Fostering @Isfostering]

Another great example #fosteringcommunities: our Circles of Support scheme is a model with a foster family acting as a central carer offering planned & emergency help, advice, training & support to a group of other fostering families. You are never alone fostering with us! #fcf22
