Families in Rutland looking for a fun and free activity this weekend are in luck. Rutland Foster Care, in partnership with Rutland County Council, is hosting a Free Inflatable Fun event today at Cutts Close Park in Oakham. Running from 10:00am until 4:00pm on Saturday 16th May, the community gathering promises a day of active outdoor entertainment centered around a massive, free inflatable designed specifically for children. Parents should note that for safety reasons, children must be at least 1m (100cm) tall.
While the kids burn off some energy on the inflatables, representatives from Rutland Foster Care will be on hand to chat with members of the community. The event aims to raise vital awareness about the ongoing need for foster carers in the local area, beautifully drawing a parallel with the event itself by asking residents if they could help a child through the obstacles of life. Local councils are consistently seeking individuals and families from all walks of life who can provide a safe, supportive, and loving environment for children in care. The day offers a relaxed, informal setting for anyone curious about what fostering involves to ask questions and gather information.
If you cannot make it down to Cutts Close Park today but would still like to learn more about how you can support local youth or take your first steps toward becoming a foster carer, you can find detailed information, resources, and contact details by visiting the official website at
