Today marks the start of Foster Care Fortnight and our Fostering North East team is hoping it will help to encourage more people to become foster carers.
Each year, the Fostering Network campaign throws a spotlight on the vital role of foster carers and the huge benefits they bring to the lives of fostered children and young people.
Our friendly team are proud to support the #changeafuture campaign message and would love to hear from anyone who wants to find out more about becoming a foster carer.
“There is no such thing as a typical foster carer,” said Fostering North East Manager, Sheila Errington, “each carer is as individual as the young person they foster. We’d encourage anyone with a passion for fostering to give us a call on 0191 228 0111 or make an enquiry through our website or our Facebook page @ Fostering North East. They really could be just the person to turn a young life around and provide them with a brighter future.”
