Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in fostering and who wants to learn more about it. It’s the perfect opportunity to see whether fostering is for you and ask any questions. It also doesn’t matter if you have experience with another agency or are looking at becoming a foster carer for the first time. We’d love to meet you.
