Ebbsfleet Pre-season Match: Diagrama Fostering Awareness Day

Dartford Football Club will be holding a special Awareness Day for Diagrama Fostering during the Ebbsfleet friendly on 2^nd August.

Earlier this year, the Club announced a new partnership with the independent, not-for-profit fostering agency. Diagrama Fostering provides a supportive environment for vulnerable children across London, Kent, West and East Sussex and Surrey.

The partnership with the Club now sees the Diagrama supporting DFC Women’s social media streams and teams in DFC Youth Academy.

During the Ebbsfleet pre-season match, members of the Diagrama team will be out in force with fliers, flags, banners and giveaways, using the day to raise awareness about fostering. Every day one hundred children go into care and there is a desperate need for foster carers. The players will warm-up in Diagrama Fostering T-shirts to re-enforce this message.

The not-for-profit agency offers a personalised fostering experience, while benefiting from the expertise and security that comes with being part of the larger Diagrama Foundation. Diagrama foster carers are rewarded with a generous benefits package, 24/7 support, additional payments, holiday cover and a free training and appraisal programme to develop new skills.

David McGuire, Chief Executive Officer, Diagrama Foundation, said: “Diagrama Fostering is thrilled to partner with Dartford FC, a club renowned for its family-friendly ethos and strong community ties. With a critical shortage of foster carers nationwide, we believe members of the Dartford FC community may be inspired to explore the rewarding journey of fostering. We are thrilled to be building lasting relationships with the club, its teams, supporters, and the wider community while raising awareness of the life-changing impact of providing a child with a safe, loving home.”

A DFC spokesman said: “We are delighted to hold a special Awareness Day for Diagrama Fostering during the Ebbsfleet match. Please take some time during the day to find out about all they do in the community and support them where you can.”
