Testimonials

What our carers say

“I don’t think you can ever underestimate the positive impact the child is going to have on your life – our relationship grows from strength to strength as we learn from each other”
"My 16 year old foster child has been through a great deal of trauma including the loss of both parents. Despite this he is a lovely teen who tries his best to please others. I recently received a message from his older sister thanking me for raising him to be polite, kind, helpful and smart. It made me feel amazing and that all the hard work had paid off!"
"The training was very insightful. It gave me new knowledge on child development and explained everything in greater depth"
"It is the young people themselves that make fostering so rewarding and the relationships you build with them."
"When I tell people what I do, many say it's something they would consider doing in the future. I say to them don't put it off, there are children who need you!"
