Community and recognition for foster carers

As a Trafford foster carer you are part of a wider community. We celebrate your contribution and create opportunities to come together with other carers, children and young people.

Celebration events

Each year we hold a celebration event for foster carers. This is a chance to recognise your hard work and the difference you make to children’s lives. Awards are given to highlight achievements and long service.

Children’s events

We organise activities and events for children in foster families, including birth children. These events give children the chance to meet others, share experiences and have fun together.

Festive activities

We hold a Christmas party for foster families every year. This is a popular event and brings everyone together at a special time of year.
