Action for Children
21 February 2025
There is a desperate shortage of foster carers across the UK. Our faith teaches us that children need love and nurture. Unfortunately, this is not the experience of over 30,000 children each year who enter the care system. Having faith in fostering situations can be hugely beneficial for these vulnerable young people who may have experienced trauma, abuse and neglect. Our faith can provide them with structure, stability and a whole community to support the fostering family. If you think you could change a child’s life for the better and welcome them into your heart and your home, contact your local fostering service today. There are many organisations out there who welcome faith in fostering and who do not profit from the services they provide for young people. It’s easier than you think, you just need an open heart and a spare room.
We believe that we will make the biggest impact in raising the awareness of the plight of these vulnerable young people, if we ask all faith leaders to disseminate this message at the same time.
