Amy's journey of growing up in a foster family is a heartfelt reminder of how fostering changes lives - not just for the children and young people in care, but also for their families.

Eight years ago, her family welcomed a little boy with complex needs in their home, forming a bond that has become unbreakable.

Fostering has left such a lasting impression on Amy that she's already considering it for her own future.

Carmarthenshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Adult Social Services and Children and Families, Cllr. Jane Tremlett, praised families like Amy's who make such a difference.

We launched our 'Bring Something to the Table' campaign, highlighting the incredible support network behind our foster carers.

Whether you're thinking about fostering, are already fostering, or work within the social care sector - everyone has a role to play.

In Carmarthenshire alone, there are 148 children in foster care, while many more foster carers are still needed to meet the growing demand.

This holiday season the most meaningful gifts aren't wrapped in paper or tied with ribbons - they're the ones that provide love, stability, and hope.

When you become a foster carer, you're giving a child the gift of a safe, loving home that can change their life forever.

Give a gift that lasts all year. Become a foster carer now.

We're always looking forward to meeting you at our many events across Carmarthenshire.

You'll find us at:

• Ammanford, Carmarthen, and Llanelli Hwbs
• Scarlets Home Games

We also attend a variety of community events throughout the year. Don't miss the opportunity to connect with us, ask questions, and learn more about fostering in Carmarthenshire.
