IN WALES , there are over 5,000 children and young people in care.
These children are some of the most vulnerable in our country. What they most need is the thing that many of us take for granted; a stable loving childhood, where they can just be themselves.
Someone like you could make a huge difference to their lives. Foster carers don’t need to be super-heroes; they come from all walks of life.
When you decide to take the life-changing decision to foster, Barnardo’s will support you every step of the way so you don’t have to do it alone.
Barnardo’s celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. The charity was one of the first to place children with families, and to train foster carers so they had the right skills to look after children.
If you’re interested in fostering with Barnardo’s please visit barnardos.org.uk/fostering, or call us on 0800 0277 280 (Monday to Friday).
