Central Bedfordshire Council, Luton Council and Bedford Borough Council have secured government support to develop a new fostering hub to help recruit, approve and support more foster carers across the area.
We celebrated our foster carers at a ‘Celebration of Fostering’ event this weekend, recognising 15 households who together have given an incredible 105 years of dedicated fostering service.
At a meeting on Tuesday 5 August, Central Bedfordshire Council’s Executive decided how it would allocate funding from the Household Support Fund (HSF).
Amicus Trust has been selected as the Chairman’s charity for 2025/26 by the newly-appointed Chairman of Central Bedfordshire Council, Councillor Kevin Collins.
We welcome a new plan from the government, called ‘Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life’, which aims to improve support for children and families from pregnancy to age 5.
We joined forces with Bedfordshire Police and other partner agencies at the end of May to support Operation Sceptre, a national campaign aimed at tackling knife crime and keeping communities safe.
