Fostering Community Champions

Family - a group of parents and their children. The Oxford English Dictionary. Families are one of the most important things to us, but some families are a little more dysfunctional than others. To us family is loving and caring people who will always look out for us and after us, but for some poor souls this is not the case. My mum is a foster carer which means she looks after kids that have been mistreated or simply cannot be looked after by their own parents.

Fostering Community Champions, funded by the Big Lottery, is an exciting four year project that aims to improve the outcomes of children in care by reducing the isolation experienced by many foster carers and helping young people to use their experience of foster care in a positive and meaningful way.
