Appeal for Foster Carers

More foster carers are wanted in Stoke-on-Trent.

Bosses at the city council say there’s a huge need for them with more than a thousand cared for children currently in the city, an increase sadly as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

The local authority is now highlighting Foster Care Fortnight as part of its recruitment drive.

It already supports 425 fostering families across the city, but urgently needs to recruit more carers to help to provide children with loving homes and keep them in the area where they live with familiar surroundings.
