Appeal launched to find more foster carers

An appeal has gone out to find more foster carers in the Isle of Man.

Fostering First is running two drop-in sessions next month to provide information and guidance to potential carers.

The organisation is looking for people of all ages and from all backgrounds, to offer a family environment to children who are unable to remain in their own homes in the short or long term.

The sessions will take place in Douglas at The Children's Centre on November 15th, between 2pm and 7pm, and in Ramsey at St Paul's Hall on November 21 between 2pm and 7pm.

Head of Fostering First Fiona Lassen tells us why foster carers are so important:
