Monmouthshire has some wonderful foster carers, but sadly not enough, meaning children and young people are growing up without a place they can call home.
For those children, their only Christmas wish is to be part of a loving family, which is why Monmouthshire County Council is urgently seeking more foster carers.
Foster Wales Monmouthshire is looking for homes for these children, calling out to Monmouthshire residents to consider fostering. As a foster carer you will receive an allowance for every foster child in your care, and as a foster parent you’ll also receive an allowance too. It’s about taking care of the everyday, as well as helping create more special memories. Monmouthshire’s fostering team will also be there to provide excellent practical and emotional support to you and your foster child along their journey.
Monmouthshire’s cabinet member with responsibility for its fostering service, Councillor Tudor Thomas said: “If you’ve previously considered fostering, please come along to our drop-in sessions to talk with us – it could be life-changing. Monmouthshire County Council offers excellent training and support for foster carers and it really is so rewarding. Please consider taking the first step to transform a child or young person’s life today.”
If you have ever thought about fostering, and have a spare room in your home, please get in touch today. What you can offer a child will be life changing for them.
Monmouthshire County Council is holding a series of drop-in events around the County, so please pop along for an informal chat about fostering at the following locations:
Shire Hall Monmouth 25th November 10am-3pm, Waitrose Abergavenny 29th November 1pm-6pm, Abergavenny Market 6th December 10am -3pm, Waitrose Abergavenny 7th December 1pm-6pm, Caldicot Hub 9th December 10am – 3pm.
