With more than 600 local children in care this Christmas, more foster homes are urgently needed to provide safe, stable homes for Looked After Children; particularly teenagers. A nurturing family environment can make a real difference to the lives and futures of these young people, whilst also helping to reduce the number of external placements and provide long-term cost savings for Somerset Council.

You can make a difference to the life of a local young person in a rewarding role as a Somerset foster carer, with ongoing training and support, including weekly payments to support you financially. Call 0800 587 9900 or visit fosteringinsomerset.org.uk to find out how you could help change a child’s story. You’re not committing to anything by getting in touch to find out more, and you could make a real difference to the life and future of a local child.
