Community events
If you can't make our evening information events we host a range of informal in-person events around the county during the day. Our 'Talk to the team' events are led by our friendly fostering team and our 'Chat with our carers' events are led by our amazing foster carers. No need to book, just turn up and meet our area teams.
Our teams and foster carers look forward to meeting you, to answer any questions you may have about fostering and advise you on the process. If there isn't an event planned near you at the moment, please keep checking this page which will be updated when new events are confirmed.
