Fostering is about caring for children who are unable to live at home for various reasons. Foster carers are ordinary people from all types of family situations.

The Trust is hosting a free Foster Care information evening on Wednesday 24 September at 7pm in Tesco’s supermarket on the Belfast Road in Newry.
