Our work in the field of foster care has seen significant growth in 2024. Key highlights are progress with promoting emergency foster care, collaboration on a guide for Social Workers at new Resilience Centres, and the start of a partnership with the Dzherelo Centre and UNICEF Ukraine to improve social services in Lviv, Zakarpattia and Volyn Regions.

The world leading Secure Base model of care for children was taught by research professor Dr. Mary Beek from the University of East Anglia at our two day workshop.
Care in Action regularly facilitates job orientation programmes, where we provide teenagers in care with insight and skills necessary for a successful start in the world of work.
The festival is a flurry of fun activities designed to help children discover new interests, showcase their talents and build self-esteem, and there are special workshops for caregivers too.
Care in Action was proud to host 128 parents and children in 2 four day camps designed to improve the quality of foster parenting through support and training events.
