Foster Carer Stories

You can read about what brought our carers into fostering and how they have found the experience in their case studies.

Angie
A regular parent helper at her sons’ primary school, Angie saw for herself the difference foster care had made to the life of that young person. She was encouraged by her son’s headteacher to attend an open evening.

She ll
Shell decided to try foster carer after becoming disillusioned with her career in finance working for a high street bank. She sought greater fulfilment and wanted to use her nurturing skills to help a young person.

Andy
Andy and his partner, Caroline are foster carers with Carolina House Trust and live with two young people aged 15 and 19, along with their 20-year old son and daughters, aged 15 and 12. Andy felt he was missing out on time with his young family by working constant night shifts as a taxi driver.

Fostering has changed our lives for the better. There are difficult days but we have never once regretted becoming foster carers.

We enjoy being able to help the young people with life skills such as cooking, budgeting and encouraging them to seek further education or employment.

The supporting social workers at Carolina House Trust are so helpful and supportive when you need someone to listen to, either for advice or when you just need a moan.
