Charity outreach to potential carers
An open afternoon in Douglas (29th Mar) hopes to promote the virtues of foster care.
Island organisation Fostering First is hosting a drop-in session at Bourne House on Woodbourne Road, open to anyone keen to find out what's involved in caring for children in need of a loving home.
Regular events are held to spread the message that almost anyone can foster a child regardless of their age or background.
The charity says it wants to dispel myths about who can adopt, the accommodation they are expced to provide and responsibilities.
For information call Fostering First on 631947.
Long-term foster carer Pauline Walters said she'd recommend it to anyone:
