Do you have room in your heart and your home to foster? Kirklees Council is looking for people who can foster children and young people in the area – and it’s an incredibly rewarding experience.
As a foster carer, you will make a huge difference and play a vital role in helping a child to understand what’s happening to them, as well as providing love and stability at a difficult time. Fostering with your local council helps to ensure that looked after children remain in their home area, which allows them to stay close to family, friends and school.
Fostering changes lives – can you help? Find out more on the Kirklees Council website.
