Lighthouse Fostering is delighted to introduce Connor and Jenni, the latest foster carers to join our growing family. Residing in the beautiful surroundings of Conningbrook Lakes, Ashford, the couple bring with them a wealth of experience, a nurturing spirit, and an unshakeable commitment to fostering.
A Warm and Welcoming Family
Connor and Jenni live with their young daughter, Aoife, and their two beloved dogs, Milo and Rhea. Together, they have created a dynamic and supportive home environment, which they are now extending to include the young people in their care. Fostering runs deep in their hearts, and their enthusiasm and dedication shine through in all that they do.
“We currently care for a teenage girl, and she’s really enjoying being part of our family,” they shared. “She loves joining in on our usual activities—whether it’s heading outdoors with the dogs or staying active with fitness routines. It’s rewarding to see her feeling at home with us.”
Seasoned Foster Carers with a Fresh Start
Connor and Jenni are no strangers to the world of fostering, having committed the past four years to supporting young people. Their decision to join Lighthouse Fostering in October 2024 marks a new chapter in their fostering story. Reflecting on their move, they highlighted the appeal of a smaller, more close-knit agency where a sense of community and personal relationships could flourish.
“The idea of being with an agency where support comes from people who genuinely know you was really important to us,” they explained. “We wanted a partnership that felt more connected and personalised, and Lighthouse Fostering offered exactly that.”
Making a Lasting Impact
It’s evident that Connor and Jenni are more than prepared to continue making a difference in the lives of the young people they welcome into their home. Their proactive approach to fostering, combined with their warmth and openness, ensures each child in their care feels valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their potential.
By integrating everyday family life with nurturing care, Connor and Jenni create the stable foundation that so many vulnerable children need. Whether it’s sharing stories, exploring the great outdoors, or simply lending an empathetic ear, they are helping their foster children grow in confidence and comfort.
A New Beginning with Lighthouse Fostering
Connor and Jenni’s arrival at Lighthouse Fostering brings excitement and inspiration to our community. Their story exemplifies what fostering is all about—providing stability, compassion, and enriching experiences for young people who deserve every opportunity to flourish.
We’re thrilled to have them as part of our team and look forward to seeing the remarkable impact their care will continue to have on the lives of the young people they support. Welcome to the Lighthouse family, Connor and Jenni!
