Fostering campaigns toolkits

By supporting fostering with Essex, you're making a difference to your local community.

Essex has over 1, 000 children in care, unfortunately, that number is growing too. We appreciate the time you're taking to support us. 

To make things easier, we have prepared materials below, ready for you to copy and paste on your own channels. Each month, we will update this page with new campaign materials.

Our team are happy to support with bespoke assets too
