It Takes a Village: Real Stories of Fostering 🎧Let’s Talk About Fostering

In this episode, we explore how foster parents strengthen communities, support children, and work closely with local services to create lasting change.

We sit down with Theresa, a foster parent from Fosterplus in Gloucestershire and Jim, who is responsible for a number of our individual fostering agencies here at Polaris. We will explore how foster parents help shape stronger, safer, and more supportive communities across the UK.

From building trust with birth families to navigating complex care needs, this conversation highlights the real experiences and incredible impact foster parents make every day.

What we cover:

- How foster carers support wider communities

- Why collaboration with professionals is essential

- The challenges and rewards of long-term care

- Practical advice for future foster parents
