Lorimer - At the heart of fostering

Help us Find a Family for our Fostering Community

Posted on 20th May 2022 by

A national shortage of Foster Carers means this is a great time for anyone considering fostering to get involved. The Fostering Network estimates a need for around 7000 more foster families this year.

At Lorimer, we know it’s vital for each young person to be cared for in a safe and loving home. To make sure this is possible, we’re asking our Foster Carers to encourage more people to consider fostering. This will help to build our #FosteringCommunity.

Those of you who are already Foster Carers will know that, alongside the challenges of caring for our most vulnerable young people there is also huge rewards! Positively impacting the life of a child is one of the many reasons why our committed carers do the job. We want you to help us to spread this message and actively encourage other caring and passionate people in your local community to join the #FosteringCommunity. 

Have a think about when you and your family first decided to get involved in Fostering; what was it that helped you to take that step? We all know there are many misconceptions about who can be a Foster Carer; by sharing your knowledge and experiences with other people you will be helping to breakdown the barriers to Fostering. This will increase the number of children with the chance to experience childhood in an environment where they can flourish!
