This May half term, Hull Fostering turned up the joy – and the bounce – with an exclusive, high-energy party at Gravity Trampoline Park.
Over 100 of our wonderful children and young people in foster care were treated to an hour of pure jumping freedom, complete with bouncy socks and snack packs to refuel afterwards.
And the verdict from the kids? Unforgettable.
From the moment their socks hit the trampolines, our young bouncers laughed, leapt and soared through the air with confidence and joy. Red-cheeked and beaming, they left Gravity grinning from ear to ear – their bodies tired, but their spirits lifted.
These moments matter.
Behind the scenes, many of the children in our care carry invisible weights – experiences and emotions that no child should have to shoulder.
Events like this are more than just fun days out – they’re a vital part of their healing journey. Shared laughter, freedom to play, and the joy of being included creates powerful memories that boost confidence, self-esteem, and belonging.
But it’s not just about the children.
These events are a lifeline for our foster carers too. They connect with each other, relax, and recharge. Staff get the chance to see the impact of their work in action – and to celebrate the amazing resilience of the children we support. The whole fostering community comes away that little bit stronger.
At Hull Fostering, we believe childhood should be filled with moments of happiness, even if life hasn’t always been easy. And thanks to the caring team at Healthy Holidays Hull, Gravity Hull, and the tireless efforts of our staff and carers, this half-term gave our young people exactly that.
