Make 2014 the year you Foster for Knowsley

If you have what it takes to give a child love, support and stability at a time when their own family can’t, why not make 2014 the year you Foster for Knowsley?

temporary homes for children and young people who need one.

If you have a big heart as well as the time and space to care for a child, Knowsley’s Fostering Service would love to hear from you.

There is no set criteria for who can become a foster carer – you don’t need to be married, own your own home or financially well off. In fact, foster carers are paid an allowance for their work and receive regular training and support – so if you like the idea of working with children this could be the perfect career for you.

Most rewarding of all is seeing the difference you will make to a child’s life, putting a smile on their face and helping shape the person they will become.

If you are interested in finding out more, please call Knowsley’s Fostering Team for an informal chat on 0151 443 3958.

You can find out more about Fostering for Knowsley on the council’s website www.knowsley.gov.uk (search for ‘fostering’), or on the Foster for Knowsley Facebook page www.facebook.com/FosterforKnowsley.
