Nexus Fostering and Doughnotts in Nottingham partner to raise awareness of fostering in the East Midlands
Nexus Fostering has partnered with Nottingham based independent bakery Doughnotts to launch a special awareness and fundraising campaign designed to support Foster Care Fortnight charities and encourage more people to consider becoming foster carers across the East Midlands.
At the centre of the campaign is a limited edition Cookie Monster inspired doughnut, featuring the Nexus Fostering logo, available to purchase in their Nottingham store. For every doughnut sold, 20 percent of profits will be donated to charities supporting Foster Care Fortnight, helping vulnerable children and young people who are entering or currently in care.
This partnership is about more than a product. It is about opening conversations, raising awareness, and helping more people understand how they can make a difference through fostering.
Raising awareness through local partnerships in Nottingham and the East Midlands
Nexus Fostering believes that working with local businesses is a powerful way to connect with communities. Partnering with Doughnotts helps bring fostering into everyday conversations in a relatable and accessible way.
Many people may not realise that they already have the skills needed to foster. Community campaigns like this help encourage people to explore fostering for the first time.
By working together, Nexus Fostering and Doughnotts are helping to increase awareness of fostering in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicester and surrounding areas.
Supporting vulnerable children and young people in care
Funds raised through the Cookie Monster doughnut campaign will support Foster Care Fortnight initiatives and wider organisations that provide essential services for children and young people in care.
These services help ensure children receive emotional support, stability and opportunities to thrive in safe and nurturing environments.
Nexus Fostering remains committed to improving outcomes for children through high quality placements, consistent support, and well matched foster families.
