Foster

• being a taxi service
• muddy footprints through the house
• dirty plates hidden in a bedroom
• toys everywhere
• ouch that was Lego under a bare foot
• weekends stood in the cold and wet at the side of a pitch

Fostering isn’t always pretty, but it is pretty amazing!

At any one time there are 30 children and young people in Cornwall who need a place to call home. You could be:

• single
• live in a flat
• rent where you live
• be LGBTQ+

because all you need to be a fosterer, is to be able to provide a place of comfort and stability to help a child realise their potential.

We are particularly looking for:

• people who can care for older children
• people who could offer siblings a home, they really need to be together during a difficult time
• mother and child placements
• those who can offer short break respite care for disabled children
• those who can provide a long-term home for a child as a permanent foster carer

Martyna tells us what a difference it made to finally have a stable place to settle down and how it helped her to finish school.

If you could offer a child, teenager or siblings a home, we’d love to hear from you. Please call our friendly team to find out more on 01872 323638.
