Could you be a Foster Carer?

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is calling on members of the business community to join the fostering community and make a real difference to a child’s life. Being a foster carer is a life-changing experience that requires just a spare room and a little bit of spare time, even as little as one weekend a month.

There is no such thing as a typical foster carer. People of any age, gender, marital status, religious or cultural background, or sexual orientation are encouraged to join the fostering community. Stoke-on-Trent City Council is eager to hear from anyone who is interested in becoming a foster carer.

When you choose to foster with Stoke-on-Trent City Council, you will receive professional allowance, exceptional training, and support, with ongoing development throughout. The friendly team is on hand to answer any questions you may have by calling 01782 234555 or visiting https://fostering.stoke.gov.uk/.

As part of their ongoing efforts to raise awareness of the fostering community in Stoke-on-Trent, several events have been planned in the coming weeks. On Tuesday, May 16th, an informal drop-in session will be held at Starbucks in Smallthorne from 3pm-4.30pm. On Wednesday, May 17th, there will be a foster carers celebration day at Grace Church Unit B in Hanley from 11am-1pm. Finally, on Wednesday, May 31st, there will be a foster carers meet up and picnic at Longton Park from 11am-1pm.

Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life. Contact Stoke-on-Trent City Council today to find out more about fostering and how you can get involved.
