SUMMARY:Could You Help a Local Child? By Fostering
DESCRIPTION:Could You Help a Local Child? \nRight now\, there is a real need for foster homes in Somerset\, so children in care can stay close to their schools\, friends\, and communities. By fostering\, you can make a life-changing difference to a child in your area\, offering them stability\, care\, and a sense of belonging. You’ll need to be aged 21 or over with a spare room in their home\, but there is no upper age limit – wisdom is a bonus. No experience is needed as foster carers receive full training and ongoing support\, including weekly payments to support them financially. If you’ve ever thought about fostering – contact our friendly team on 0800 587 9900 for a no commitment chat\, or visit www.fosteringinsomerset.org.uk to learn more. \nYou could also come along to one of our ‘Cuppa with a Carer’ events. These relaxed sessions are a great opportunity to chat with local foster carers over a coffee and slice of cake (provided free of charge) and gain a realistic insight into the challenges and rewards of fostering. \nUpcoming sessions: \n\nMonday 12th January\, 6–8pm – Lady Smith Memorial Hall and Parish Rooms\, Market Square\, Somerton TA11 7NB\nWednesday 14th January\, 6–8pm – Westlands Entertainment Venue\, Westbourne Close\, Yeovil BA20 2DD\nThursday 15th January\, 6-8pm – Wellington Community Centre\, A White Hart Lane\, Wellington TA21 8HN\n\nFor more information about upcoming events visit the Events page of the website or Facebook.
