Both students and carers was dressed in the very best nigh-attire to celebrate this year's National Pyjama Day.

The annual fund-raiser is held to raise much-needed awareness and funds for children in foster care.

"To take on a child, often in difficult circumstances, is such a commitment," Lyn Foster said.

"Sometimes it is a grandparent who needs to find another round of love to give to a child in need or it is those special people who choose to provide ongoing support for children on a temporary or a permanent basis," she said.

"Not only do they think about the child but often they respect and include a child's parent in their lives to keep that family connection wherever possible."

At Blossoms we love the relationships we have with our families and it is something that we recognise as one of our core values within our program, Lyn said.

"We enjoy being part of this support system and hope that we can too offer some assistance to our foster parents to help them continue the love and care that is given in the home situation."

Lyn described the day as a lot of fun, especially watching both the children and staff coming through the gates wearing their pyjamas.

A donation tin at the front counter, which quickly filled with donations for the cause, would be donated to fund-raiser.

The organisation offers learning skills to more than 1000 children, funds educational resources and help provide stable, positive relationships.

More information can be found on the National Pyjama Day website, which assists foster carers looking for support or for anyone who would like to get involved.

"We challenge other companies to also join with us by having their own pyjama day anytime in July and August."
