All Fostering Stories
“Our family unit has doubled and we love it!”
Mark, one of our amazing LGBTQ+ Foster Carers, has shared his fostering story with us and the life-changing difference it has had on not just him, but his wider family too.
“If you want a fulfilling life, then foster!”
Tracey has been fostering since 2013, when her own children were aged nine and 11. Since then, she has provided a safe and loving home to many local children, including sibling groups and teenagers.
"The rewards you get back you can't even measure!"
Even after an incredible 23 years of being a Foster Carer for under-fives, Sam still absolutely loves what she does, "Fostering is amazing and life changing!"
"Supported Lodgings seemed a better fit than fostering"
With her own two children settled in their own homes, Jackie became a Supported Lodgings host. She loves having a 19-year-old in her home again and helping him move on with his life.
"Young people make life interesting and fabulous!"
Discover how Juli, together with partner Alex, manage working full-time while helping a young person to learn or try new things and the joy of seeing them succeed in those.
