Councillor Ndukwe Onuoha, Cabinet Member for Streetpride, Public Safety and Leisure said:

We’re proud to champion the incredible work foster families do for our community. These benefits are our way of saying thank you and helping families enjoy active, healthy and memorable experiences together.

Councillor Paul Hezelgrave, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Skills said:

Foster carers are the backbone of our community, providing safe and loving homes for children when they need it most. This partnership with Derby Active is a wonderful way to recognise their dedication and to make sure both carers and children have access to the same opportunities to stay active, healthy, and connected. We are committed to supporting foster families not just in their vital role, but in enjoying life to the fullest.
