We celebrated our 25th birthday with a party to thank our carers for their continued dedication to changing and improving the lives of children separated from their birth families.  

The celebration took place last month at Hogarths Stone Manor, Kidderminster, with carers also receiving long service awards. Carers were awarded for being with Clifford House Fostering from 5 up to 24 years and were treated to afternoon tea for their hard work and dedication over the years.

Naomi Ebank-Simpson is the Registered Manager at Clifford House Fostering in Bromsgrove, she said: “It’s hugely important to reflect on the many positive developments that we’ve seen over the years.”

“Clifford House turning 25 was a fantastic way to salute the work of our carers who, day in and day out, make a real difference to the quality of the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in the community.”

Here are a few photos from the wonderful event day held at Hogarth’s Stone Manor.
