  • Looking Forward With Richard Kingswell
    Jun 29 2026

    Going through tough stuff? Really tough? Tomorrow's going to be better...Listen in as Richard shares insights on hope, optimism and persistence...

    Richard is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FosterVA and Extra Special Parents, organisations he established to strengthen foster care services and improve outcomes for children, young people, and families across Virginia. With a strong background in social work and decades of experience working alongside young people, Richard brings both professional depth and personal conviction to his leadership.

    Richard believes foster care works best when families feel genuinely supported, listened to, and respected. His leadership is grounded in relationships, transparency, and a commitment to doing what is right for children and those who care for them. Through initiatives such as The Kingswell Conversations, he creates space for open, honest discussions about foster care, leadership, and the real experiences of families and professionals in the field.

    Outside of work, Richard enjoys hiking and kayaking, unwinding with a good film, cooking for family and friends, and playing board games. He is also a dog lover and values the balance that time away from work brings, helping him stay grounded and connected to what matters most.
