Following the success of our LGBTQ+ information event in November, we are delighted to announce that we will be hosting a second event on 10th March at 7:30pm.

The session will run in parallel with New Family Social's LGBTQ+ Adoption & Fostering Week 2022 - a week dedicated to helping LGBTQ+ people considering fostering to find the right way forward.

We will provide an introduction to what it means to be a foster carer, discuss the reasons children come into care, look at different types of fostering placements and talk about the support and training that foster carers receive. We will also aim to dispel the many myths that surround fostering, and all too often lead to people disqualifying themselves unnecessarily.

Experienced LGBTQ+ foster carers will be available to answer questions and share their fostering journeys.
