FOSTival

From the beginning of 2025, evolve Therapeutic Fostering has been receiving over 60 daily referrals for children and young people.

That’s over 60 times a day a child or young person is in need of a loving home or safe place to stay.

This isn’t just a number but instead represents individual young people with their own personalities, ambitions, dreams, abilities, interests and hobbies.

Unfortunately, whilst the rate of children being entered into care is dramatically rising, the number of foster parents is sharply falling. Something drastic and innovative needs to happen within the social care sector so we do not fail our children and young people.

That is why the team at evolve Therapeutic Children’s Services have launched a new initiative.

evolve knows it takes a tremendous team of dedicated and skilled foster parents, social workers, therapists, panel members and other evolve team members, to support children and young people to create a safe environment in which they can begin to heal from previous trauma.  

But there comes a point when the local community has a role to play and so it seems only appropriate that evolve gives something back to those that are also helping make a positive difference, whilst raising awareness for those in care.
evolve Therapeutic Children’s Services is excited to present the first ever FOSTival, taking place Saturday 14th June at Betteshanger Park between 10am-6pm.
That is why evolve have created FOSTival- the first ever family festival started by a local service in the South East. evolve are hoping that the new initiative will increase awareness of fostering, whilst raising funds for deserving children’s charities, by creating a memorable, lasting day out for families.

We have also been thinking how best we can serve our community and so this is why we have decided to make FOSTival a FREE event.

It’s not just free entry- it means all activities and entertainment are being provided for. Guests will have the option to buy food and a raffle ticket on the day, if they so wish.*

All money raised through donations and/or raffle tickets will be donated to The Young Lives Foundation, based in Maidstone, who are an award-winning charity who support, mentor and advocate for vulnerable children across our county.

There’s no need to buy a ticket- just turn up on the day!
*Car parking charges are not included.
