Meet Foster Carers Sam and Mike

While working at a school, Sam saw how being in care shaped the lives of many children. She and her husband, Mike, decided to explore fostering and found a way to fit it around their lifestyle.

“We’re fairly new to fostering; we only went through panel recently, but I have to say it has been a really positive experience for us. We absolutely love it.” – Sam

“Five Rivers really support the whole family; our oldest child needed support, and our Supervising Social Worker, got them the help they needed.”

“The initial process to become a Foster Carer was easy, and it was almost like therapy; it taught me to reflect. I enjoyed that process so much and I found out so much about myself. ”

“My Social Worker at Five Rivers knows that I am neurodivergent, and they know the kind of support that I need. If I call my Social Worker, they always call me back because they know when I call, I need support and if they are unavailable, they transfer me to a duty Social Worker; so, I always have someone there for me. It is important for me to have that because as someone with neurodivergence I need that support and have someone there on call to help.”

“Choosing the right organisation was the hardest part because there are just so many and there is such a big demand for Foster Carers. But once I registered with Five Rivers, it was easy sailing. Five Rivers have been good to me.”
