FOSTival
In the first quarter of 2024 evolve Therapeutic Fostering received over 3000 referrals for children and young people.
That’s over 3000 times a child or young person was without 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.

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.
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.
The first ever FOSTival will be coming to Kent in summer 2025.
