Our newest fostering film “Fostering Changes Lives” was made in collaboration with fostering friendly members, foster carers and young people in care. Giving a real insight to how fostering changes not only a young person’s life but yours to.

We asked foster carers and young people in care to share their experiences. Their response was a truly honest reflection of the impact and importance fostering has on their lives.

If you are even thinking of it – do it and hang in there.
Enjoy- take the plunge and breathe. Start everyday as a new day!
Consider your option, discuss with the whole family. Build relationships with social workers and fellow foster carers. Be involved with the coffee morning.
Just make the move – it’s not always easy, emotional at times but well worth it to make that difference.
If you can make a difference to a child’s life it is the most rewarding thing you’ll ever do, especially when you see how happy they are.
Do it! It is challenging, hard work, but so, so very rewarding.
Just enjoy it, so rewarding and fantastic to see a child happy, safe and cared for.
It gives a sense of self-worth to help and support other children; it’s an extension of your family.
Just do it!
