Could you foster a child?

Tom just wants a safe place to call home... and maybe a new pair of trainers. It's not too much to ask for - except it often is, for children in care.

A new film, 'The Run', tells his story. It’s a film that has been created in partnership with over 90 other councils, including Medway Council, as part of a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about fostering.

Cllr Adam Price, Medway Council’s Portfolio Holder for Children’s Services, said: “The message behind this project is very simple, but so important – we need foster carers and we need people to foster for Medway.

"I would encourage you to watch it today, and if fostering is already something you have been thinking about, then reach out to our team to find out more.”

Could you foster a child? Medway Council are hiring now for foster carers who will provide safe and loving homes to children and young people in Medway. Fostering is a paid, professional role that gives children a brighter future.

Watch the film now at medway.gov.uk/fostering to find out how life-changing fostering can be for children in care... and how immensely rewarding it might be for you.
