Celebrating 10 Years as Foster Carers with Care Visions

Care Visions Fostering Scotland were delighted to host our annual 10 Year Anniversary Awards for Foster Carers on Wednesday the 21st of May. We once again took the awards to the beautiful setting of Callendar House, just a stone's throw from our Falkirk office. 

It was another special occasion to celebrate fostering and the important role that the Carers have played in shaping young lives, letting them thrive in safe, supportive, loving environments.

To mark our Foster Carer’s outstanding commitment to Care Visions Fostering and in recognition of their service, we invited those who have been with us for 10 years to attend an afternoon tea and award presentation.

Our Head of Fostering, Sarah McEnhill welcomed everyone and started proceedings with a rolling presentation, featuring touching contributions from our Carer’s Supervising Social Workers. The staff there shared a few words about their carers which was warmly received. We also heard from Carers about their experiences and they support they have had. Following that it was time for afternoon tea and a good catch up, then award time with those recognised receiving a commemorative engraved glass clock.

Speaking about the event, Sarah said, "Once again it was lovely to be come back to Callendar House to celebrate with our carers who have reached a fantastic milestone. We shared many memories with them during the afternoon. Lots of lives have been improved through their commitment, love and support our carers give to children and their families. Today was just a small token of our thanks and appreciation."

A huge congratulations, well done and thank you to all our award recipients for this year; Philippa & Sean Bonnar, Ali Yule & Rick Hill, Kari & Kevin Watson, Angela Campbell, Sharon & Paul Lister, Darren & Susan Teare, and Angela & Richard Knoyle.
