Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental health impacts people from all walks of life, and it's important that no one feels alone. We understand that discussing your mental health can feel daunting, but we encourage you to reach out and talk to someone.

On 3rd October, NFA London North came together to celebrate Black History Month and honour the diverse stories that build and strengthen our foster families. They told us: “In this moment, we recognise the importance of fostering environments where every child can thrive, and where their heritage and identity are cherished. Together, we are creating new narratives that uplift and empower future generations. Thank you for being the change - your commitment to inclusivity and compassion is shaping brighter futures. As we reclaim and celebrate the power of diversity in fostering, we acknowledge that our collective strength lies in the differences we embrace. We are the future, we are the change, we are London North.” #fostercare #foster #fosterparents #fosterlove #fosterfamily #fostercareawareness #fostering #family #love #fosterkids #children #fosterchildren #fosterparenting #fosterparent #fostercarersupport #community #support #makeadifference #blackhistorymonth #reclaimingnarratives
