You could make a difference to a local child s life today By sharing your family home, you could give a child a life away from abuse and neglect or give their family a chance to sort out their problems. Foster carers look after children when they are unable to live with their own families. This can be anything from a few days to a few years. Fostering can involve looking after all ages of children, from babies to teenagers. You can choose what age range fits into your family.
