Fostering Fortnight began this week and runs until Sunday 31 May. Lambeth Council is appealing to our community – now, more than ever, new people are needed to come forward and apply to become foster carers.

The Council’s Fostering Team are therefore urgently appealing to local people with a spare room and the capacity to care for a vulnerable child to consider stepping forwards during this crisis.

An online information evening is to be held on Thursday 21 May from 7 to 8pm for anyone who may be wondering whether they can take a vulnerable child into their home. This will be an opportunity to hear from specialists and have all your questions about fostering answered. Register here.
