Hear from people who have experienced fostering and their journeys below.
Jill and Mark’s story
“The impact of fostering on my life is that it has completely taken over it, we live with these children every day, it’s the first thing we think about.”
Annette and Mark’s story
“The impact of fostering on my life is that it has completely taken over it, we live with these children every day, it’s the first thing we think about.”
Chris and Mark’s story
“At every single step we knew that at the end of that phone somebody knew us, knew the placement and had the right advice and guidance, and that’s been from start to finish for the whole of the eight years.”
Ronan’s story
“You get to invest time, love and experience in a young person and give them hope for the future – just knowing that you’re helping someone and making them feel safe was enough.”
Lee’s story
“We’ve had so much support from the Together Trust team over the last couple of years. Whether it was getting in touch with an outreach worker or a call with one of them on the phone, it was a huge help.”
David and Jess’s story
“There was always someone you could speak to on the phone. It felt more like a family, and we wanted to be with an organisation reasonably local to us.”
Brad Kella’s story
“Everything I do in right now and in the present moment is because of my foster parents. They give me the time of day which I’d never had off anyone else.”
