Why a child needs you…
There are many reasons why children and young people need foster families, and each child has their own story to tell. Many have experienced neglect or physical and emotional abuse. It may also be because of a family illness, family breakdown and problems at home, or a situation where their welfare is threatened. While their circumstances will all be different, every child will have faced loss and separation from their birth family.
That’s where you come in. By becoming a foster parent, you’ll be providing a safe and nurturing home where a child can thrive. Not only can fostering transform your life, but you’ll be making a difference that lasts lifetime to a vulnerable child or young person.
