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.
Residents across Central Bedfordshire are being reminded that the popular Young Person’s (YP) Card scheme will continue to offer excellent value for money, despite a fare increase coming into effect.
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.
We're marking £330,000 of UKSPF funding for 2025 to 2026, which has provided mentoring, training and expert support to help local businesses grow in a tough economy.
We presented an exciting new initiative at the Socitm Conference in June, focussing on how digital skills training can unlock opportunities for care experienced young people.
