This special day, observed before Mother's Day in the UK, acknowledges that fostering is a role embraced by people from all walks of life and that it’s not just mothers who foster.
To mark this occasion, Swiis Foster Care presented their Manchester foster carers with flowers at a special ‘Every Parent Day’ event as a token of appreciation for their dedication and hard work.
Wayne Brown, Registered Manager (pending) for Swiis Foster Care North West, said "Our foster carers go above and beyond every day to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children. Their dedication and compassion are the backbone of Swiis's success, and we are immensely grateful for their contributions.
“Each foster carer brings unique strengths and qualities to their role, creating a diverse and supportive community that truly embodies the spirit of 'Every Parent Day.' We are committed to supporting them in every way possible and celebrating their remarkable achievements."
Swiis Foster Care remains committed to providing the support, training, and guidance to ensure their foster carers are equipped for the role of fostering and ensuring the outcomes for the children in their care remain outstanding.
At the end of March 2024, there were 42,615 [1] fostering households in England with a growing deficit of foster carers. Driven by the need for more foster carers across the UK, Swiis Foster Care is committed to recruiting a greater number of foster carers in Manchester and beyond who will be appropriately trained and supported to excel in their new fostering career.
