Paving the way for a brighter future with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

Blue Sky Fostering is the first Independent Fostering Agency to achieve the license to provide the Duke of Edinburgh’s award for our young people, including young people from your fostering family. The DofE programme gives young people the opportunity to develop the skills and attitudes they need to become more confident, independent adults. By supporting our young people through their DofE Award, we are investing in their future.

“In the process of completing the DofE Award, they learned many positive things about themselves and that they can do anything they put their minds to!” – Ed Thompson, Training & Participation Manager.

Help young people like Jake & Theo

There are so many young people like Jake & Theo that need a caring home to grow and develop. For some young people, their only other option is residential care. With your help, they could not only avoid that but thrive and gain all the tools they need for future independence. You could help them learn valuable life skills, start attending school, get an apprenticeship, manage their behaviours and even more.

Blue Sky will be with you every step of the way on your fostering journey. We will give you the tools you need to succeed in making a difference in these young people’s lives.
