Events

If you're thinking of becoming a Foster Carer we put on regular introductory workshops and attend events so you can find out more about becoming a Foster Carer. 

There will be the chance for you to speak to staff or social workers about what it's really like being a Foster Carer and find out more about the process, what's involved for you and the benefits included.
