A display of teddy bears is helping to raise awareness about foster care.
The Little Bears in Care campaign has returned to venues across Southampton as part of Foster Care Fortnight, which began on May 11 and officially ends on May 24.
Southampton City Council previously introduced the campaign in 2025 to highlight the stories of children in foster care and to encourage more people to become foster carers.

Amanda Barnes-Andrews, councillor responsible for children and learning, said: "There is a national shortage of foster carers and Southampton is one of many authorities that support Foster Care Fortnight to raise awareness about fostering and encourage people to find out more.
"As a former teacher, I know from experience that children and young people flourish in environments where they feel loved, supported and nurtured."
Visitors can follow the trail, scan QR codes on each bear, and read the stories they represent.
The campaign ends on May 31.
