The Any Of Us project will be the largest public sector fostering film collaboration yet, with North Yorkshire Council joining more than 80 participants from Northumberland to Brighton and Liverpool to Kent.
The film – the sixth produced by this growing partnership of councils and children’s trusts to promote local authority fostering – was launched on Tuesday, September 26 and can be viewed here.
Any Of Us looks at three very different people who all show some of the attributes needed to be a foster carer in incidents from their daily lives – Ayesha going to the aid of a pedestrian after a minor road accident, Neil calming down an aggressive situation in a snooker club, and Marsha identifying a young person showing signs of distress and intervening with them at school. These are different individuals in very different scenarios, but each in their own way shows the caring instinct that is fundamental to being a foster carer.
The film develops so that it becomes clear that one of these three everyday people will become the foster carer to Chloe. The main characters’ stories are all interwoven with Chloe’s, as we see her journey into fostering.
It highlights the fact that anyone who cares has the potential to become a foster carer.
Fostering North Yorkshire is the council’s not-for-profit fostering service. Until December 31 2023, newly approved foster carers are being offered a golden hello of £500. Anyone interested in fostering for Fostering North Yorkshire can visit our website here.
The film and its messaging will appeal to a wide audience, and it’s hoped it will encourage people to foster for their local authority.
Fostering directly with your council or children’s trust means that you can support your local community by working with a fostering service that is dedicated to supporting local children and young people who need a nurturing, safe fostering home.
