It takes a community to raise a child.
Not everyone can foster. But everyone can help us find and support the next generation of carers.
Why Partner With Us
Across the West Midlands, there’s a shortage of foster carers — especially for African and Caribbean children. Without enough carers, children face instability, separation from siblings, and loss of identity.
At Roots Café, we believe communities can change that. By partnering with us, you can help connect children with carers who will give them the safe homes and positive identities they need to thrive.
Ways to Get Involved
For Community Groups, Schools & Faith Organisations
- Host a Roots Café conversation at your venue.
- Invite us to speak to your members or students.
- Share our podcast and events with your networks.
For Individuals & Supporters
- Spread the word — follow and share our content on social media.
- Refer a carer — if you know someone who might foster, send them our way.
- Donate your time or skills — marketing, events, or mentoring support.
Why It Matters
“When carers are missing, children lose more than homes — they lose stability, identity, and belonging.”
Your support means more children get the chance to grow up safe, confident, and connected.
Every child deserves a chance to thrive. Together, we can build the network of carers and allies they need.
