Fostering events

We’re Coming to You

We’re running informal local information events with foster carers and care leavers from your community.

The next event is:

Thursday 14 March, 6pm to 7.30pm
St Pauls Learning Centre, 94 Grosvenor Rd, Bristol, BS2 8XJ

You don't need to book. Refreshments will be provided.

Fostering information evenings

We have information evenings on fostering every six weeks, in central Bristol. At these sessions, you’ll learn about:

• the children who need fostering in Bristol
• the process of becoming a foster carer
• the skills and qualities you need to become a carer
• the rewards and realities of fostering from a foster carer

At the end of the evening, you can talk to one of the foster carers who will be there. You can also talk to us.
