This Ramadan, BGFA aims to bring the community together by holding gatherings to celebrate the spirit of the holy month. BGFA has planned dinners where all foster children and foster carers can come together, break their fasts, and go through the spiritual month together. Each carer is bringing a dish from their culture, and BGFA will help to both amplify and appreciate the cultures our foster carers and children are from.
In the spirit of love and compassion, BGFA (Bridging Gaps Fostering Agency) launches a heartfelt initiative this February, aiming to spread awareness and support for children in foster care. Under the banner of "A Valentine For Every Child," BGFA is dedicated to ensuring that every child, regardless of their circumstances, feels cherished and valued.
As an agency, it’s incredibly important to support foster families to ensure a successful and beneficial placement for both children and carers. At BGFA we aim to create a safe and supportive environment for our foster carers and children. We do this by providing our staff with all the necessary training, and creating an atmosphere where everyone is able to experience growth in their career and personal lives.
Research suggests that children and young people in care have certain developmental delays, these can be physical, mental and emotional. Therefore, it’s imperative for foster carers to cater to their needs, as well as supporting their development, through educational support, physical health and emotional/mental welfare.
