Thank you Lorraine Beavers MP for meeting with Christine and Pam from our fostering hub, to talk about the challenges on a local and national level recruiting foster carers for local children. It was great to hear your passion for supporting foster carers in our local community.
Foster with us recruits foster carers for five local councils across Lancashire and Cumbria, why not get in touch and speak to our friendly team to find out more. We even have our experienced foster carer buddies available to speak to and hear real life accounts of what it is like to be a foster carer for your local council.

Last week we were proud to attend Blackburn with Darwen’s Staff Engagement meeting for Children’s and Education Services 💛

We hosted a stall to share how you can work and foster, and had some great conversations with staff interested in making a difference locally.

A special shoutout to our Service Lead Pam, who delivered a fantastic presentation highlighting the success of Foster with us so far and what’s coming next 👏

If you’ve ever thought about fostering alongside your career, it might be more possible than you think.
