Foster Care Fortnight - The Importance of Memories

Join us online as we talk to foster carers about the importance and impact of creating and saving memories for children in care.

Taking place during Foster Care Fortnight with its focus on celebrating #fosteringmoments, the discussion will give a real insight into the experience of both carers and young people and how memories shape a child's journey and identity, both during their time in care and in later life.

This event is free and is of particular interest to anyone working in children's social care, with vulnerable young people and families, in life story work, foster carers, or anyone thinking about fostering or adopting.

Organized by

Virtual Memory Box is a safe, accessible online tool which has been developed with young people in care and the adults in their lives, so they can store key moments and memories all in one secure place.

Carers, social workers, and young people can add photos, videos, audio and documents to help them understand their life story and their identity.
