Find out About Fostering
Chesterfield residents are invited to find out about fostering at an information session being held at St Thomas’ Centre on Saturday 13th June.
Organised by Derbyshire County Council as part of Fostering Fortnight, the event takes place from 2pm – 4pm and is an informal opportunity to chat to social workers and foster carers whilst enjoying coffee and cake.
Councillor Jim Coyle, cabinet member for children and young people, said:
“Children cared for in a real home have the best start, so foster carers can make such a positive difference to young people’s lives.
“We are looking for people from all walks of life to come forward and find out if they could become a foster carer.
We’re particularly looking for homes for older children and sibling groups and offer our foster carers lots of benefits, support and training as well as competitive financial allowances.”
