International Happiness at Work Week 2021
This week has been a very busy one as we work with families and local authorities in the fostering sphere, particularly as we receive referrals for children who might need a fostering family to live with and come into the care of their local children's services.
As we've been reflecting on the 2021 and the progression of our service since families joined in January, we've taken the opportunity to celebrate the International Week of Happiness at Work 2021 this week 20-26th September.

We've asked the staff team to share why they are happy at work! Here's what we said:
Julie
I have worked for over 25 years with many fostering providers in my social work career and I have to say that Fostering Together rises above the rest. I feel very lucky to be working with such a great team of foster families and agency staff that are mindful of everyone’s needs and work together to ensure young people and their foster families are highly valued and supported. I no longer prefer to work from home, I look forward to being with the team at the hub of the company.
Neil
Fostering Together is the happiest, friendliest and most rewarding environment I have ever worked in. I genuinely look forward to working as part of our team each day!
Rachael
Fostering Together is an amazing place to work; I am the happiest I have ever been in my career and it is a joy to work with a team who share the same goals and values to be able to create positive outcomes for children.
Jack
As a team getting together to create something special in a really challenging time, it makes me really happy to be able to look back on what we have achieved together, and I’m excited for what the future will bring as the team will grow!
Pat
It has been such an exciting and up lifting experience being part of Fostering Together. I have had the privileged of being involved in helping to develop this wonderful agency and in working with a brilliant group of people. Our foster carers are absolutely brilliant, and I am in awe of the warmth, dedication and high standards of care that they provide. Centre to this is our wonderful children. They inspire us to provide the best possible care and in helping them to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Matt
I have the pleasure of working with a remarkable and dedicated team of staff and foster carers at Fostering Together. I couldn’t be happier knowing that our work helps to create positive futures and improved outcomes for children.
