Have you ever wondered about becoming a foster carer and dismissed the idea as you thought you wouldn't be a suitable candidate? Think again. National Fostering Group has launched nationwide Campaign by Kids to dispel myths about fostering.
Campaign by Kids will run throughout 2021, each month addressing a different misconception about fostering, and giving children the microphone to share their experiences and become "leaders" of the campaign.
