Awards
We are looking forward to our Annual Awards Ceremony 2026.
This event is a special celebration of our amazing foster carers and the remarkable young people who make our fostering community so inspiring. It is a chance to come together, recognise achievements, share proud moments and honour the dedication shown throughout the year.
We cannot wait to celebrate.
Growth
At Rising Stars Fostering it’s about the lives we touch.
We’re proud to see our fostering family flourish, with compassionate carers stepping forward, more children finding the safety and love they deserve, and a dedicated team working tirelessly behind the scenes to make it all happen.
Every new carer, every supported child, and every staff member adds to the heart of our mission: creating brighter futures, one home at a time.
Summer events
We had some incredible events for our community this summer.
We absolutely loved those days when everyone could come together and make lasting memories.
It was such a joy to see the children having a wonderful time.
We look forward to our future events.
"It's not always easy, but the difference we make is beyond words."
"I am not just a carer, I am part of a team. I am treated like a priority."
"Fostering gives me purpose. I know I am doing something meaningful."
"You know you are making a difference. You see the changes. "

Blue Light Card
The Blue Light scheme celebrates the dedication and service of those in vital frontline roles across our communities. It’s available to professionals such as emergency responders, NHS staff, coastguard teams, and members of organisations like St John Ambulance and the Red Cross. And now, we’re proud to say it also includes foster carers—recognising the incredible commitment you make every day to support and protect children and young people.
The Fostering Network is the UK’s leading fostering charity, dedicated to empowering foster carers and improving outcomes for children in care.
They work closely with fostering services—such as the National Fostering Group—to promote best practice and drive positive change across the sector.
As part of our commitment to supporting carers, all our foster families receive free membership to The Fostering Network. This includes access to a wide range of benefits, such as discounts on legal services, mortgages, holidays, and family attractions like Haven, Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures, Madame Tussauds, Sea Life centres, wildlife sanctuaries, and much more.
