Meet some of our foster parents
I’ve worked for Fostering People since 2011. Before I came to work at Fostering People I worked in a local authority child protection team.
We have fantastic foster families at Fostering People who provide exceptional care. It’s a pleasure to be working with such inspirational people, who work so hard to make a real difference to the children they care for.
