Could you offer a safe space in a new place?

Cumbria Fostering is running a campaign to raise awareness of a need for foster carers and Homestays providers for refugee children seeking sanctuary in the UK who need a safe, caring place to call home. 

Could you provide that safe space in a new place? Somewhere vulnerable children can feel secure, cared for and hopeful for a better future. Somewhere they can settle for a few weeks, months or sometimes years as they take steps towards their future. 

They arrive here from often incredibly traumatic situations – fleeing from war, persecution, violence and civil unrest. Some have been trafficked, many exploited as they made their way here. These refugee  children arrive without parents or family to look after them. As a result, they  have emotional, cultural and practical needs – but you could be the one to help them reclaim their childhoods. They need a safe place to call home. They need to know that there is someone there for them.

You will be provided with support and training to help you care for these children. Understandably, there can be challenges, but you will have the help you need, when you need it.

Enquire today and open your home to a child who desperately needs it.
