Diverse Fostering

All set up for

Just started reading this book after hearing the author speak. Going to be an interesting read. Hopefully bringing my knowledge about brain development uptodate and more importantly how it relates to fostering.

We had a great time on Saturday at Stone Carnival Week. Loved the parade. Had some lovely chats with some lovely people and the weather was much better than forecast. Can you spot us on this photo?

Looking forward to being at Newport Shropshire Carnival this Saturday in the sun!

Come and say hello!

All set up for our day at Stone Carnival Week. Come down and see us. Bring the sun! Although dry at moment.

When foster carers believe in the children in their care, those children learn to believe in themselves. Read this inspiring story of how Lucy became a Barrister.

Lawyers Who Care ⚖️

Lucy Barnes is a Barrister who has made it her mission to open up the profession to other care experienced people.

When she was younger, Lucy found it hard to imagine a future. Dealing with so much turmoil around her, school simply wasn’t a priority.

However, things started to change when she entered care age 13 and she met someone who truly believed in her – her foster dad. His deep-rooted belief in her gave Lucy hope that she could succeed. 💖
