A foster family who helped raise a young man who is now studying to become a doctor have described the transformative process they went through and encourage others to take part.
When Jake Riley was first taken in by his foster parents at the age of six he thought he would be moved to another placement, not wanting to get his hopes up.
But when Sarah and Kazim Hursit sat him down and told him he would stay with them permanently, he completely transformed.
