Celebrations at ‘Looked After Children’ Awards Ceremony

14/02/2019

An awards event has taken place to celebrate the successes of young people who live in care in the Southern Trust.  

The Southern Health and Social Care Trust in partnership with The Fostering Network hosted the event in Brownlow House, Lurgan on 12 February.

Approximately 95 young people over the age of twelve years old in foster and residential care were nominated by their social workers and received awards for a wide range of achievements, including educational, training, sporting and life skills achievements.

Opening the awards ceremony, Mr Colm McCafferty, Southern Trust Assistant Director of Corporate Parenting said: “We know the many challenges that young people can face, so it is important to celebrate when they overcome these challenges and achieve success.

“As parents we are proud when our children do well, and as corporate parents for the children in our care - we in the Southern Trust are extremely proud of their achievements and want to celebrate them.”

Kathleen Toner Director of Fostering Network commented: “The Fostering Network is delighted to join today with the Trust to celebrate with all the young people who have worked hard during the past year to achieve success in a range of activities. Well done to everyone.”

Mr Paul Morgan, Southern Trust Director of Children and Young People’s Services also highlighted the achievements of all the young people attending the event: “The young people here today have taken their future into their own hands, they’ve excelled in areas of their individual interests and have gained knowledge and skills that will help them in the future.

“This celebration event is one of the most important in the Trust’s calendar and continues to grow every year. We really want to thank everyone involved and who have played a key part in the Awards ceremony.”

If you are interested in finding out more about services to looked after children or any assistance you could provide please contact The Family Placement Service on 028 3833 7181.
