Could fostering be your New Year lifestyle change?
Foster families come in all shapes, sizes, ages and can include single people as well as couples. There is no 'ideal' type of foster carer, everyone is unique and brings their own individual experience and abilities. The most important attributes are having time, patience, a sense of humour and the ability to love.
Fostering information events are taking place online in January and February and are a way for you to find out more:
- Tuesday 20 January, 7-8pm
- Wednesday 28 January, 12.30-1.30pm
- Monday 23 February, 7-8pm

However, access will be maintained to businesses and properties.
