Join us for the 2025 Sydney Foster and Kinship Care Week Picnic on Sunday 31st August 2025 from 11am to 3pm at Blacktown Showground.

Each year the picnic brings our carer community together to celebrate and say thank you for the valuable work you do to provide safe, nurturing and stable homes for children and young people. Join us for rides, food stalls, entertainment, a petting zoo and many more family-friendly activities.

The picnic is open to foster and kinship carers, guardians and adoptive parents from out-of-home care in NSW and the children and young people you care for.

BYO chair and picnic blanket and we’ll do the rest.
