Find out more about life as a foster carer

Sarah Mason 18th May, 2026   0

SILHILLIANS are being invited to find out more about life as a foster parent.

Foster for Solihull are marking this year’s Foster Care Fortnight, which runs from May 11 to 25, with a number of face-to-face events across the borough and online.

Fostering experts will be using the fortnight-long programme of events, to discuss how even for people who work full-time, being a carer need not be a barrier to joining Solihull’s family of foster carers.

Events will also discuss the different types of carers and fostering fostering, from respite to short term, and emergency to long term as well as Family Links – caring for a child or young person with a disability, over some weekends and short breaks away from their family.

Foster Care Fortnight is a national celebration of foster carers across the country organised by The Fostering Network.
