This Foster Care Fortnight (13th-26th May), Auctus Management Group is proud to support Comfort Cases UK and champion an initiative that touches the lives of children entering foster care, often under the most challenging circumstances. Foster Care Fortnight is an opportunity to amplify the voices within the fostering community and highlight the profound impact fostering can have on children’s lives. Around the UK, many dedicated foster carers provide homes to children in need, but the demand for nurturing homes continues to grow.
A Connection Born from Personal Experience
Sarah Scott, Head of HR at Auctus Management Group, brings a personal connection to the company’s new fundraising project. “Some of you know that my children are adopted. When I discovered Comfort Cases, it struck a chord. Our daughter, only four then, remembered wearing the same clothes until her foster family could provide more. She was fortunate to keep some cuddly toys, but not all children have that solace,” Sarah shares.
Moved by these stories, Auctus Management is partnering with Comfort Cases UK to provide backpacks filled with essentials to children as they enter care. These comfort cases contain items like pyjamas, a cuddly toy, toiletries, and books—small comforts that can make a big difference.
Our Commitment to Social Impact
Richard Toy, CEO of Auctus Management, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative. “We are pleased to support Comfort Cases UK and this worthwhile cause. These comfort cases represent more than just material items; they symbolise hope and a fresh start for these children. At Auctus, we’re committed to making a tangible difference in the communities we serve.
Auctus’s Initial Contribution to Comfort Cases UK
To kickstart this initiative, Auctus Management has contributed £500 to fund the first ten bags, ensuring we begin making an immediate impact.
How You Can Get Involved
Auctus Management encourages everyone to contribute to this cause in various ways:
- Volunteering: Join us for a bag-packing event, where we’ll assemble the comfort cases.
- Donations: We’re collecting new pyjamas, toiletries, blankets, and cuddly toys. Gently used books are also welcome.
- Financial Contributions: Monetary donations are crucial. Consider donating cash or purchasing a supermarket gift card.
Support Vulnerable Children
Every child deserves to feel valued and cared for, especially during tumultuous times. By providing a comfort case, we offer a sense of belonging and a token of stability.
“We hope our efforts will highlight the incredible difference a single act of kindness can make. Let’s stand together to support these children and show them they are not forgotten,” says Sarah.
Join us in transforming lives—one backpack at a time. For more details on getting involved or donating, please visit the Comfort Case UK website, or staff members can contact our HR department. Together, we can ensure that no child has to move with their belongings in a bin bag.
