Interested in fostering and have a spare room? #fosterforpembs

This month we are celebrating the achievements of the sons and daughters of foster carers, by highlighting the huge contribution they make to fostering.
Taking that step to becoming foster carers affects everyone in the family, it’s not just parents who foster, sons and daughters are a big part of it too.
Seeing life from another person’s perspective can be such a rewarding and enriching experience for children who foster, helping them to understand the challenges faced by children and young people placed in foster care.
If you feel your family is able to provide the love, security and understanding a foster child needs and have a spare bedroom, our fostering team would like to hear from you.
Speak to a member of our friendly team on 01437 774650 or visit our website www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/fostering to find out more.
