Children who have experienced neglect, loss, or separation from their biological parents need caregivers who support them throughout their journey. For foster and adoptive parents to fill this important role, they also need support. That is why we aim to raise €556 to continue the therapist-led peer support groups for carers in the Dnipro region.

Foster families were strengthened at our Family Camps with fun, training, and support from like-minded people. 130 foster parents and children joined our camp this year and you can see how much they loved it!
This annual festival for children in care is a celebration of talent, culture and the chance to discover something new. We also connect with foster parents and the media to raise the chances of including these children in school.
The world leading Secure Base model of care for children was taught by research professor Dr. Mary Beek from the University of East Anglia at our two day workshop.
Care in Action regularly facilitates job orientation programmes, where we provide teenagers in care with insight and skills necessary for a successful start in the world of work.
The festival is a flurry of fun activities designed to help children discover new interests, showcase their talents and build self-esteem, and there are special workshops for caregivers too.
Care in Action was proud to host 128 parents and children in 2 four day camps designed to improve the quality of foster parenting through support and training events.
