Have you ever thought about fostering, but didn’t know where to start? Pop along for a chat with our friendly fostering team this Friday, January 27 at their stand in Newcastle’s Grainger Market.
Members of Fostering North East will be in the Grainger Market arcade space this Friday between 10am and 3pm and would love to meet anyone who would like to foster or who would simply like to know more about what’s involved.
Fostering North East Operations Manager, Joann Gibson said, “We need foster carers from all over the region, so even if you’re just popping into Newcastle to shop, it’s worth visiting us for a chat.
“We understand that making the decision to foster takes time, so there isn’t any pressure to commit to anything on the day”, added Joann. “We have plenty of information you can take away and the event also gives you an opportunity to ask any questions, then you can contact us again in your own time if you decide to go ahead. It’s all very relaxed, but it could be the first step you take towards making a huge difference to a child’s life.”
Fostering North East’s small, friendly team offers its foster carers excellent allowances, full training and 24 hour support. If you would like to know more, but can’t make it along to the Newcastle event, give Joann a ring on 0191 228 0111, email fostering@fosteringnortheast.org.uk or enquire via the Fostering North East website at www.fosteringnortheast.org.uk
