I’m the Managing Director of Banya Fostering Agency.
The aim of this page is to raise awarenes about the work we do with the hope of encouraging people to foster.

Over the weekend we hosted our Manchester Foster Carer Appreciation Meal and it was such a special afternoon. Hearing from our carers about the incredible work they do every day for our young people reminded us of exactly why we do this work. To every single one of our carers, thank you. You are seen, you are valued, and you deserve to be celebrated 🌟

A good foster carer is someone who is patient, caring, and understanding. They provide a safe and stable home where children feel valued, listened to, and supported. Good foster carers are able to build trust, set positive boundaries, and help children grow in confidence, especially during difficult times in their lives. They are also flexible, resilient, and willing to work closely with social workers, schools, and families to meet the child’s needs and encourage their development.
Foster carers are supported every step of the way to help them provide safe, stable, and nurturing homes for children and young people. Support typically includes a dedicated supervising social worker, 24/7 emergency support, ongoing training and development, financial allowances, peer support groups, respite care where needed, and regular check-ins to ensure carers feel confident and valued in their role.

I went on the retreat and it was everything I thought it would be and more 🌿
As a social worker and agency owner, pouring into myself isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. This weekend gave me exactly that 💛
put so much thought and care into every detail, making sure we could truly switch off and be looked after. We did movement and breathwork, walked through the most incredible countryside and even got creative with some artwork 🎨
If I had to pick a favourite part? The women. I came for the retreat and left with friends for life 🙌🏾
Becoming a social worker changed my life by giving me purpose and the chance to make a real difference in children’s lives. As the Managing Director of a fostering agency, I am proud to support and advocate for young people to help them reach their full potential.
Are you ready to foster… but your partner’s not quite there yet?
You’re not alone. Different timelines, different fears, same potential to change a life forever.

On Sunday I ran the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Half Marathon in aid of the NSCCP, a charity close to my heart. 🏅
13.1 miles through the streets of Birmingham and my cousin decided to join last minute, which made it extra special 🥰 Having familiar faces on the sidelines cheering us on made every step worth it. You know who you are 🙏🏾
And to thank you for the motivation, the miles and for making me believe I could do this. You played your part!
Together we raised over £500 for the NSCCP, every single penny matters. Thank you to everyone who donated, it means more than you know 🙏🏾❤️
