Burns Night is a wonderful opportunity to embrace Scottish culture, honour the legacy of poet Robert Burns, and enjoy a festive evening with delicious food, music, and poetry. At Silver Lining Fostering Agency, we encourage our foster carers to explore diverse traditions and celebrations with their foster children, building strong bonds and cherished memories.

Ideas to Celebrate Burns Night in Your Foster Family:

1. Host a Burns Supper: Try haggis (or vegetarian options), neeps, and tatties, and end with a dessert like cranachan.
2. Share Robert Burns’ Poetry: Recite or read works like A Red, Red Rose or Address to a Haggis.
3. Enjoy Traditional Scottish Music: Play bagpipes or folk tunes to set the atmosphere.
4. Learn About Scottish Culture: Use this day to explore Scotland’s rich history, heritage, and contributions.

Fostering is about creating inclusive and enriching experiences for every child. Sharing traditions like Burns Night helps foster a sense of belonging and appreciation for diverse cultures.
