About this event
It is believed that in the next few years there could be up to 100,000 children in care. That means we need to find 25,000 more foster carers.
Here at Capstone Foster Care, we are committed to doing all we can to build brighter futures for children and young people up and down the country by providing our foster carers with the very best local support and extensive training.
During the event, they will explain all about fostering, the criteria and the process to foster, discuss the different types of fostering, break some of the most common misconceptions about who can and who can’t foster and end with a Q&A session where you can ask the hosts, Laura and Lynne, any burning questions that you may have.
If you’ve ever thought about fostering or know someone that has, this event is not to be missed.
