Fostering Information Evening
Could you foster teenagers or siblings?
If you have a spare bedroom and you are over 21 then we want to hear from you!
Do you think you can draw on your abilities to help a child, young person or siblings? If you want to know more about fostering then come and join us at Blackburn Sports and Leisure Centre.
There is a national shortage of foster carers, so there has never been a more important time to start your fostering journey. With record numbers of children in care and around 13 per cent of the foster carer workforce retiring or leaving every year, The Fostering Network estimates that fostering services across the UK need to recruit at least a further 6,500 foster families in the next 12 months alone.
That’s 760 fostering households in the North West where there is a particular need for foster carers to look after teenagers and sibling groups.
