Cumbria Fostering is inviting members of the LGBT community to consider whether they could change the life of vulnerable children during LGBTQ+ Adoption & Fostering Week, which returns next week.
The annual awareness week, which runs from March 4 to 10, is organised by charity New Family Social. Cumbrian Fostering is one of 120 fostering and adoption agencies nationwide, which is supporting the campaign by urging members of the LGBTQ community to find out more about fostering at our upcoming events.
Wherever you are on your fostering journey, our event next week offers those thinking about fostering the opportunity to speak to our friendly team and foster carers. No need to book, just come along:

Do you have items of community equipment at home that are still in good condition, but no longer wanted or needed? Items such as commodes, shower chairs, adjustable trolleys or bed levers?

For one week only, from Monday 4 March to Thursday 7 March, you can drop off any unwanted equipment at reception, where they will be collected for cleaning and redistribution.
Need to free up space sooner? You can return to one of our Household Waste Recycling Centres.
Walking aids such as walking sticks, zimmer frames and crutches should be returned to your local hospital.
Join us! There are currently 89 job opportunities available to apply for now.
