<ul><li>Do you think you can change the life of a child in Falkirk? </li><li>Have you thought about fostering but not sure if it’s for you?</li><li>Is it time to enrich your life by giving back to children and young people in need?</li></ul>If your answer is YES to any of those questions, then please come along to our open evening! This session is the perfect opportunity to find out more about fostering for Falkirk. You will have the opportunity to speak to some of our existing foster carers and care experienced young people and see first-hand the positive impact that fostering has on people’s lives. Come along to ask any questions and find out more about fostering including:<ul><li>the wealth of support that is available</li><li>the fees and allowances that our foster carers receive</li><li>the process to become a foster carer</li><li>the different types of fostering that you can choose to do </li><li>the benefits of fostering with Falkirk Council </li></ul>In addition to long term foster carers, we need carers for interim and emergency care, plus short breaks care for children and young people who have a learning and/or physical disability – so if you’d like to help but don’t think you can commit to full time, we still need you. The only pre-requisites for being a foster carer is that you are over the age of 21 and you have a spare room in your home. You don’t need any qualifications as full training and support is provided. So, if you have the passion and space in your heart to give to the children of Falkirk who need it, then we’d love to see you. People who have come along to our open evenings in the past have found it really useful and insightful:“This was our first step to find out more about fostering as it’s something we want to do in the future. Really impressed with the team”“Chance to ask questions to another foster carer was invaluable”“Lovely people, very well informed”Our open evening is an informal drop in event, so feel free to come along anytime between 5pm - 8pm. Please register if you can, registration isn&#x27;t essential however it will enable us to manage the numbers on the day and help us to ensure that we are able to speak to everyone who comes along.
