Recruitment drive for foster carers kicks off
Our recruitment drive is being launched at the start of Foster Care Fortnight an annual campaign – running from 13–26 May this year – to raise the profile of fostering and to show how foster care transforms lives. We will be raising awareness with a borough-wide advertising campaign as well as running drop-in information events.
