They gave me a family and a place to feel safe…

Did you know ...

Over 70,000 children live with almost 56,000 foster families across the UK each day. This is nearly three-quarters of the 97,000 children in care away from home on any one day in the UK.
 
Around 30,000 more children come into care over the course of 12 months.
 
Similar numbers leave the care system to return home, move in with another family member, live with new adoptive families, become subject to a special guardianship or residence order or move on to adult life!
 
Every year thousands of new foster families are needed ⬇️
