Finding out more about fostering

Event to inspire the next generation of foster carers

Leicestershire foster child

Leicestershire County Council is looking for new generations of foster carers who can step into a hugely-rewarding role and offer loving homes to vulnerable children and young people.

An informal information evening will be held from 6.15pm - 8pm tomorrow (Wednesday, 31 May) at County Hall in Glenfield and will provide an opportunity for people to meet and talk to carers, as well as the council’s fostering team.

 

We support carers from the beginning and encourage ongoing training throughout the process. Many people think about fostering and have many questions so, at the event, the team will provide all the support and information needed no matter how far people have travelled along the fostering journey.
