Birmingham Fostering Open Day a Huge Success

Birmingham Fostering Open Day a Huge Success: All You Need to Know About Becoming a Foster Carer

On September 21st, we hosted a successful Fostering Open Day at our new office in Harborne, Birmingham. The event, ran from 11am to 2pm, welcoming both prospective and current foster carers for an informative and engaging afternoon.

The open day served as a fantastic opportunity for attendees to learn more about the life-changing role of fostering. One of our local foster carers baked  the wonderful cakes, while we had a steel band playing as people arrived. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with tea, cake, and informal chats setting the tone for a relaxed event.

Attendees had the chance to meet the passionate local team, who provided valuable insights into the fostering process, along with guidance on how to become a foster carer. Our existing foster carers shared their personal experiences, highlighting both the challenges and immense rewards of the role.

We also showcased the range of fostering services, from short-term and long-term placements to more specialised care with our Nexus 360 and Nexus Care Plus packages. The day’s special guests, Non Stop Kids Entertainment, added a fun element, keeping younger attendees entertained while their parents and carers learned more about fostering.

The event highlighted how foster carers can play a vital role in providing support and stability for children in need across Birmingham. As always, there was no commitment required – just an opportunity for attendees to gather information and explore whether fostering could be right for them.
