Little Bears in Care

In support of ‘Foster Care Fortnight, a nationwide awareness raising campaign for fostering run by The Fostering Network, seventeen Southampton City Council ‘Little Bears in Care’ will be appearing at a variety of locations across the city. The theme of this year’s Foster Care Fortnight is ‘The Power of Relationships’ and our ‘Little Bears in Care’ trail shares the stories of children and young people who have experienced foster care.Every bear is different, just like the children and young people they represent, and every story shares a unique experience. Our ‘Little Bears in Care’ demonstrate the power of relationships and the impact they have on the lives of those living in care.The ‘Little Bears in Care’ trail will run all through Foster Care Fortnight which begins on Monday 12 May until Sunday 25 May 2025. Visit our website (www.southampton.gov.uk/fostering) and download a copy of the trail map to get started. Then simply find a bear and read their poster for their story. You can also scan the QR code to read more.When you find the bears, take a picture, and tag us on Facebook or Instagram (@fosteringsouthampton) so that we can share! We’d love to see!If you would like to find out more about how you could make a difference to a child’s life, contact our Fostering Recruitment Team on 0300 131 2797 or visit www.southampton.gov.uk/fostering.
