Fostering

Fostering is a way of providing vulnerable local children with a safe and caring place to live. This might be for a short period or for the rest of their childhood.

Foster carers come from all walks of life and bring different skills and life experiences to fostering.

Fostering is hard work but also really rewarding. There are many day-to-day moments that can help change a child's life. Like the moment when the child in your care smiles for the first time, trusts you enough to hold your hand or learns a new skill like tying their shoelaces. That's when you know that through your support and care you're making a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children.

Come along to our next information event on Tuesday 10 July 2012 at 6.30 pm at a local venue in North Yorkshire. You'll be able to meet some of our foster carers and members of the team. To find out more and to register for the event please call 0800 054 6989 or complete the online enquiry form and a fostering worker will contact you.
