Exercise on referral is a physical activity referral scheme that offers support in developing an activity routine to help improve your health and assist in the management of your medical condition/s.

Shropshire Fostering, part of Shropshire Council, is running a series of free webinars for people who want to find out more about becoming foster carers for local children.

Each webinar is just 30 minutes long, so it won’t take up much of your time. You can watch on any internet-enabled device. You’ll learn what fostering is, who can foster and why fostering for your local authority has plenty of benefits.

As the webinars are live rather than pre-recorded, you can ask any questions if you wish. If you don’t have any questions, that’s fine too! You can simply sit back and listen.
