Make a real difference to a young person's life
Why not think about fostering?
There are few examples in life where the actions of an individual can have such a positive and profound effect on another human being.
The relationship between a foster carer and a looked after child can mean that a severely abused and neglected child can grow up to enjoy a happy and fulfilling future.
Of course children who need foster care will all have had very different experiences and for many foster care is a solution to a short term need.
You could become a foster carer
The things that children say about their foster carers:
“...for the first time I felt trusted and really listened to.”
- A young person who had been in long term foster care
“When I have gone off the rails they have always supported me and listened before judging me”
- A young care leaver, leaving foster care for University
“It was the first time in my life I felt safe.”
- A looked after child in a long term foster placement describing their feelings on first coming into care
