Summer BBQ & Sports Day

After a very rainy weekend we were happy to see the sun was shining for our Summer BBQ and Sports Day at Deal and Betteshanger Rugby Club.

The young people and adults unleashed their competitive sides and took part in many games which included:

  • Egg and Spoon Race
  • Sack Race
  • Throwing Bean Bags
  • Relay Race

There was also a Coconut Shy and a Bouncy Castle which was enjoyed by both the adults and the young people.

We also had a Channels and Choices Bake Off with many entries, the winner overall was the ‘Seaside’ cake which was created by our foster carer Dawn.

A BBQ lunch was served which we give a massive thanks to Brian & Jack for cooking up a storm. After lunch, a game of rounders was played.

Overall an epic day and we would like to thank Sarah and Kerrie for organising this!

 

Launch of New Young People’s Guide and Treasure Boxes

The fostering team are really excited this week as they launched our new Young People’s Guide.

The new guide has been updated with fun new graphics, versions for older and younger children, information to help our young people as well as including the more recent additions to our team.

Alongside the guide all our children will receive one of our new treasure boxes. These are in a range of styles and are intended as a place for our young people to keep any personal items as well as “treasures” they collect along their journey. The team will be taking these out to the young people in the coming days.

Brian Blessed and Channels and Choices

On Wednesday 26 July 2017 Directors Ross and Steve had the experience of attending Global Radio in Leicester Square, London to meet with Brian Blessed for our new fostering radio campaign!

They were greeted warmly and met with the big man himself who shared stories and tales of his life which unfortunately we are unable to share!

Brian has completed 4 adverts for us to be heard on Heart FM so be sure to tune in to hear these. Head over to our Facebook page to let us know what you think!

 

 

Family Actvity Day – Easter Half Term

On a bright and sunny day in April, the Foster team, foster carers and children went for a day out at Leeds Castle.

We started the day walking through the gardens, and the children, young people (and some adults) had great fun taking part in the Leeds Castle Easter trail, where they managed to win Easter eggs.

We then had lots of fun getting lost in the maze before we had a lovely picnic. All the children had lots of fun and played games in the play park, before we headed home. Overall, a good day had by all!

Everyone is looking forward to the Summer BBQ in July!

Young Person KEH had this to say about the day:

On Leeds castle day I had a fantastic day. I enjoyed all the activities that were planned. I enjoyed hanging out with my mates. My favourite bit was playing hide and seek with my mates.

I got lost in the maze, but that was alright. I made it to the middle and liked the bit after the maze.

I would recommend other people to go to the castle. You can get a ticket for a whole year.
