Foster Care Awareness Week

Foster Care Awareness Week is an annual celebration held every March. It’s a special week that is all about celebrating YOU; our wonderful caregiver members who put in the mahi every day to care for some of Aotearoa’s most vulnerable children.

In 2025, Foster Care Awareness Week extended into a month of celebrations! We hosted 17 special events to show our appreciation for caregivers, including appreciation morning teas, dessert evenings, Keeping Memories (Life Story books) sessions and whānau get togethers in the park.

Check out some photos and highlights below.

Feedback from our Caregivers

Thank you so much for an awesome night last night. I had a wonderful time and I’m very grateful for how much you spoilt us 🥰

Amazing desserts to celebrate Foster Care Awareness Week, not too much scrap booking, far too busy chatting and catching up with other caregivers, was a great night. Thank you for organising it, to celebrate caregivers, very much appreciated!

It was good to meet up with lots of familiar faces (and some new ones). I wasn’t expecting the shout at Black & White Cafe, so very generous too!
