Could you become a foster carer and make a real difference to a young person’s life?

Nottinghamshire County Council is urging anyone who can provide safe and loving home for children to find out more about fostering.

Since the first lockdown, the fostering recruitment team has successfully switched to running virtual information events for those thinking about becoming foster carers. The virtual events are held every three weeks, with the next one on Thursday 25 February, 1:30pm - 2pm on Microsoft Teams. Find out more about the virtual fostering events here.

Anyone with an interest in fostering is encouraged to attend. Find out more on our fostering webpages or the Fostering in Nottinghamshire Facebook page.
