Looking Back at the Royal Three Counties Show: A Fantastic Weekend of Fostering Conversations
As always, we had an incredible time at this year’s Royal Three Counties Show! Set against the stunning backdrop of the Malvern Hills, the show brought together communities from across Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and beyond, and we were proud to be right in the middle of it, spreading awareness about the need for more foster parents locally.
From those who had never considered fostering before, to others who had been thinking about it for years, every conversation counted. Our team spent the weekend answering questions, sharing stories, and helping visitors understand how fostering in England and fostering in Wales could potentially fit into their lives.
The Difference Between Fostering in England and Fostering in Wales
The show’s unique positioning does not just provide a picturesque setting, but is perfectly placed between our offices in Hereford and South Wales, meaning that we can talk to those attending the show not only about fostering, but about the unique differences between fostering in England, fostering in Wales, and fostering on the border.
The Royal Three Counties Show; Fostering in England and Community
We had the pleasure of chatting to many families from the local area who currently foster, and it was fantastic to see so much enthusiasm for fostering. We also bumped into a few of our own foster parents; you can hear their testimonials here.
There’s always such a strong sense of community at the Royal Three Counties Show, and we know from experience that this kind of supportive environment is exactly what foster parents and the children in their care need to thrive. If you’re based in Malvern or the surrounding areas and have ever wondered about the support available to foster parents, click here. For those interested in fostering in Wales, please head to our Wales website!
As well as speaking to people interested in fostering, we also had meaningful conversations with care experienced individuals and experienced foster carers, each offering a unique and personal insight into how fostering can change lives.
Thank you Royal Three Counties!
We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to visit our stand. If you didn’t get the chance to speak with us but are interested in fostering, we’d love to hear from you. Our friendly, local team are here to support you every step of the way! Contact us today to find out more!
