This is Fostering Rotherham

Our flagship film, made in partnership with our local 
foster carers

This is Fostering Rotherham is a short film that offers an insight into the everyday moments that make fostering so meaningful. Created to mark Foster Care Fortnight 2025, the film is a celebration of “The Power of Relationships”.

 

It shows how fostering is built not just on compassion, but on trust, connection, and community. These are not actors or scripted stories. They are the voices of local people who, through their own fostering journeys, have found their lives transformed. Whether you’ve been thinking about fostering for a while or are just starting to explore it, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Book a call back with our friendly team today. They’re here to talk, to listen, and to help you take that first step if and when you’re ready.

“We believe that children and young people in Rotherham should grow up with the right support to allow them to be healthy, safe and achieve their potential in life. We can't do this on our own. Having more Rotherham Council foster carers means more children are cared for here, in their hometown.”

- Sarah, Fostering Adviser
