All I Want for Christmas Is… Actual Support!

A Foster Care Uncovered Christmas Special

Festive hats on, rose-tinted myths off.

In this Christmas special, we take a tongue-in-cheek but honest look at support during the festive period. Alongside plenty of foster carer humour, Louise reflects on Christmas at 16 after running away, and we explore trauma, contact, cost-of-living pressures, and the realities of Christmas for children in care.

Plus, a cheeky look at “top tips for Christmas” written by people who’ve never fostered.

Funny, thoughtful, and unapologetically real.
