'Everything' fostering film

‘Everything’ is our latest fostering recruitment film, created collaboratively with 100 other local authority fostering services. The film shows the positive long-term impact fostering can have on those involved, showing one fostering household’s journey over decades.

The film features a couple of time-hops, telling the stories of two people, Will and Zara (now adults) that were fostered as children by Mike and his wife. The film also shows the important role that birth children play as part of a fostering household. 

‘Everything’ was developed with foster carers and people that have care experience, providing true insight into the reality of fostering.
