Duchess of Cambridge presents at Fostering Excellence Awards

“The people we will hear about tonight show how good foster care changes children’s lives.”

You can tell just by looking at the way she dotes on Prince George and Princess Charlotte that the Duchess of Cambridge feels deeply about the welfare of children.

And that kindness and concern was evident on Tuesday evening when Kate attended The Fostering Network’s annual Fostering Excellence Awards.

The charity was celebrating the achievements of foster carers, young people, social workers and others within the fostering community, and was a chance for Kate to hear some inspirational stories, Hello! reports.

The Duchess, who has been involved in the charity since the beginning of the year, presented the Fostering Achievement Award to three teenagers who were recognised for their extraordinary achievements.

In a foreword of the program’s events, Kate wrote, “It is fantastic that we are all gathered this evening to celebrate fostering and the truly transformational care that is a lifeline to so many.”

“The people we will hear about tonight are truly extraordinary and show how good foster care changes children and young people’s lives.”
