Launch of Foster Care Fortnight in Wales
“ There are many misconceptions about who can foster but foster carers come from many backgrounds and from all walks of life, what matters most is that you have something to offer to children and young people. Being a foster carer won't always be the easiest of jobs, but from speaking to foster carers I know it will certainly be one of the most rewarding things you can ever do!”
