- Going concern
- Affirmed
“We have a reasonable expectation that we have adequate resources and control mechanisms to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Further, we believe that there are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, we continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

- “We gained national media attention, featuring foster carers and staff sharing their experiences and insights on platforms such as BBC Breakfast, Sky News, ITV News, BBC Woman's Hour, and BBC Radio 4.”
- “The Fostering Network published the 2024 manifesto to highlight the key areas on which we considered the next government should focus.”
