We’ve collaborated with over 100 other local authorities and children’s trusts across the UK to produce ‘Everything’, a fostering film with the powerful message that ‘fostering means… everything’ to the children in our care.

Many people don’t realise how common it is for relationships made through fostering to last well beyond the ‘official’ caring role. This has a huge impact on the lives of those who have been fostered, giving them stability and security well into adulthood.

‘Everything’ follows foster carer Mike and his family on a journey through time with two of the children they have looked after, who are now adults. Will and Zara take time to reflect on how being fostered made a difference to their lives, and thank Mike for ‘everything’.

Fostering with your local council means you can better support local children and young people who need a safe and nurturing home where they can grow and thrive.

Thanks to footage shot on a genuine old camcorder, we are taken to the 1990s to see how Will settles into the family alongside Mike’s son Chris and the 2010s when a young Zara is being taught to play the guitar by Mike.

The concluding message of the film is that what you do with your life could forever change someone else’s – encouraging people to foster in order to make that change. It also reflects how the children of foster carers make a difference to children when they come into care, helping them to feel part of the family.
