International Women’s Day

As we celebrate International Women’s Day 2025, we reflect on the power of women to create change, inspire inclusion, and transform lives. This year’s theme, “Inspire Inclusion,” is at the heart of what we do at To the Moon and Back Foster Care.

Every child deserves to feel included, valued, and loved. Yet, for many children living in care, in the UK, inclusion is something they’ve never truly experienced. Right now, thousands of children need foster carers who can provide not just a home, but a sense of real belonging and an understanding that they are loveable.

We’re calling on compassionate, resilient women to step forward and make a difference in a child’s life. Could fostering be your next great journey?

Why Women Are Choosing to Foster

Women have always been at the forefront of care and compassion, whether as mothers, teachers, nurses, or community leaders. Fostering is an opportunity to extend that care to children who need it most, offering them love, stability, and a sense of inclusion.

By becoming a foster carer with To the Moon and Back Foster Care, you can:

Give a child a sense of belonging – Many children in care feel isolated and unloved. A loving foster home can help them rebuild trust and confidence.

Be part of an inclusive community – Join a network of like-minded women who uplift, support, and guide one another through the fostering journey in our local communities.

Change a life forever – The impact of a stable, nurturing home lasts a lifetime. You could be the reason a child flourishes.

How Fostering Creates Inclusion for Looked-After Children

Many children enter the foster system feeling like they are different, whether at school, in social settings, or even within a family unit. Fostering helps break down these barriers and creates a safe space where children feel truly included.

  • Feeling Heard – A foster carer listens, understands, and validates a child’s experiences.
  • Feeling Safe – A stable home provides emotional security, allowing children to focus on growth.
  • Feeling Equal – Being part of a supportive family environment helps children feel just as valued as their peers and helps the building of self esteem.

With the right foster carer, a child can go from feeling invisible to knowing they matter.

Who Can Foster?

We welcome women from all walks of life—whether you’re single, married, part of a couple, a working professional, or already a parent. If you have space in your home and heart, we’ll provide the training, support, and financial assistance to help you succeed.

Women Changing Lives Through Fostering

T, 45, a single professional: “I always wanted children, but life didn’t work out that way. Fostering gave me the opportunity to provide love and stability to a child who needed it. It’s the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done.”

J, 49 “I was at a crossroads in my life and I knew I wanted to continue in a field of care, fostering has given me knowledge and friendship and a renewed sense of purpose”.

Join Us in Making a Difference

This International Women’s Day 2025, let’s commit to building a more inclusive world for children unable to live with their own family. Fostering isn’t just about providing a home—it’s about giving a child the chance to feel included, loved, and empowered.

At To the Moon and Back Foster Care, we go above and beyond for every child. Will you?

Get in touch today and start your fostering journey.
