On a red background, large white text at the top reads “ Keeping children close to the people and places that matter” Below this is a pink rectangular quotation box containing the text: "We welcome the Government’s commitment to recruit and retain more foster carers, particularly strengthening local authority provision, so more children can stay close to home and with their siblings. For too long, children in care have been moved to a foster home miles away, due to nowhere suitable nearby, breaking relationships, disrupting education and harming their mental health. With foster carers leaving the sector in record numbers while children continue to enter care each year, this plan must work now and for the future. Success will mean no child is moved away, when it’s not in their best interests. Keeping children close to the people and places that matter to them must be the priority, so they have the stability, safety and support they need. By Anela Anwar, Chief Executive ”

On a light blue background and dark blue text, the title, "CHRISTMAS FOR THE CARE-EXPERIENCED," is centred at the top in bold capital letters. Below the title are three stanzas of poetry. In the bottom right corner, there is a red arrow pointing to the right. Text Transcription: Christmas is not always the same song, not always stockings hung in childhood halls. For some of us, it was silence, a borrowed chair at someone else’s table, a season that reminded us of what was missing. But we have learned to rewrite it. To take fragments of culture, different traditions, different homes, and weave them into something new. Christmas becomes the warmth of chosen family, the laughter of friends who call us in, the bond that says you belong here, not because of blood, but because of love.
