Fostering in the North-West
Why Foster?
Fostering provides an opportunity to:
- Care for foster children and young people who cannot live with their own families.
- Play a very important role in fostered children and young people’s lives.
- Give a foster child a loving and nurturing home, whether temporary or long term.
- Provide an environment for foster children to develop and thrive happily.
- Enable opportunities and experiences in line with those children who are not in care.
- Make a difference to a child’s life.
