May marks Foster Care Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the vital role foster families play in providing safe, loving, and stable homes for children in need. As we reflect on the importance of fostering, the Progressive Labour Party (PLP) reaffirms its commitment to supporting Bermuda’s children and families through policies that prioritize care, opportunity, and community.

Recognizing the Impact of Foster Families

Foster Care Month is not just about celebrating the incredible foster families who open their hearts and homes—it’s also a call to action. Bermuda is in need of more foster parents to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up in a nurturing environment. By stepping forward, foster parents become a lifeline for children facing difficult circumstances, offering them stability and hope for a brighter future.

Support for Foster Families

The Government of Bermuda continues to work tirelessly to support foster families by providing resources, training, and financial assistance. This reflects the PLP’s broader vision of building a fairer, more inclusive Bermuda where every child has the chance to thrive. Initiatives like scholarships, education awards, and affordable housing further demonstrate our commitment to investing in the next generation.

Honoring Foster Parents

We understand that fostering is both a challenging and rewarding journey. That’s why we honor the dedication of current foster parents and encourage others to consider joining this vital cause. Together, we can ensure that no child in Bermuda is left without the care and support they deserve.

How You Can Help

If you’re interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent or supporting foster care initiatives, we encourage you to reach out to the Department of Child and Family Services. Let’s continue to work together to create a Bermuda where every child feels valued, supported, and loved.

A Message from the PLP

The PLP remains committed to policies that uplift our families and strengthen our communities. Foster Care Month is a reminder of the power of compassion and the difference we can make when we come together for the betterment of our people.
