EVENTS Foster Care Fortnight Southbourne

16th May 2026

Find Us at the Food and Fun Festival

Step by Step is joining the Southbourne Food and Fun Festival this Foster Care Fortnight, bringing conversations about fostering into the heart of the community.

Join us on Saturday 16th May from 11am to 6pm and visit our stall to meet the team. While you enjoy everything the festival has to offer, you can also take a moment to learn about the growing need for foster carers and how you could make a lasting difference.

Whether you have been thinking about fostering for some time or it is something new to you, our friendly team will be there to answer your questions in a relaxed and informal setting.

Fostering does not start with a big decision, it starts with a conversation.

The festival is free to attend, but tickets must be booked in advance via the official event page.

Come and chat with us, no pressure, just an opportunity to explore how you could support a young person.
