Jess

"Lancashire has truly wrapped around us with support. From the beginning, we’ve had access to services tailored to our niece’s needs, and we’ve always felt guided by a clear, thoughtful plan."

Jess, aged 28, and her husband are new foster carers and she says it's been one of the most meaningful journeys they've shared. She said:

"We’re currently caring for my 8-year-old niece, who has become such an important part of our family. One of our favourite memories was taking her on her very first holiday with our own children. We packed the days with roller discos, nerf wars, pottery painting, beach trips, arcades, crazy golf, swimming, and even archery! Each activity gave us a chance to laugh, connect, and build lasting memories together. It was a beautiful reminder of how fostering can bring so much joy and togetherness.

"Lancashire has truly wrapped around us with support. From the beginning, we’ve had access to services tailored to our niece’s needs, and we’ve always felt guided by a clear, thoughtful plan. It’s made a real difference in helping us feel confident and supported as foster carers."
