The Run

We're taking part in a new national film which has been produced in partnership with local councils across the county to promote fostering.

 

The film focuses on 11-year-old Tom and shows the challenges he faces before coming into care, then the difference fostering makes by providing him with the stability, safety and security he needs.

Could you change the life of a local child like Tom?

Watch our film to see the positive impact foster carers have on the children in their care. Could this be you?
