Lorimer Fostering

What *is* fostering? 🧐
For those who aren't too sure, we thought we would give you a brief introduction to the world of #fostering and what being a #FosterCarer means 💜
Take a look at our #blog post here to find more: http://ow.ly/J66350urMxG

We hold regular fun and engaging events for our #YoungPeople in placement. Find out more about becoming a foster #carer for Lorimer today, call 0800 038 77 99 📞 or visit our website - lorimerfostering.com

This time last week #TeamLorimer were celebrating their success of completing the Great Manchester Run 👊🎽
You can find our write up and lots of images from the day in our most recent blog post here: https://www.lorimerfostering.com/news…/ great-manchester-run/

We wanted to take some time this #FosterCareFortnight to show our huge appreciation to our foster carers, their birth children, and the vital support networks who surround them. 💜
Without you, we would not be able to protect vulnerable children in the way we do. You help to make a difference every day 👧👦
