Foster Care Fortnight - more foster carers urgently needed from Oldham Date published: 13 May 2021
Safehouses Fostering is looking for more foster carers
A fostering organisation is encouraging more Oldham people to think about offering safe and loving homes to vulnerable children and young people.
The plea comes as new figures suggest people across the North West of England are unaware of the true number of children and young people referred to social services.
This comes as the country gears up for Foster Care Fortnight, an annual campaign that raises the profile of fostering which runs until Sunday, May 23.
A report commissioned by Safehouses Fostering – an independent fostering organisation and part of the Five Rivers social enterprise family - revealed that there is a distinct lack of awareness around the number of children entering the care system.
The party has also placed a candidate in all 98 Wiltshire Council unitary wards. Additionally, there are 54 Labour candidates, 90 Liberal Democrats, 67 Greens and two candidates with the Labour & Co-operative party. One candidate is running for the far-right party the For Britain Movement. Wiltshire Conservatives have pledged 1,000 more council houses, to be carbon neutral by 2030, to crackdown on flytipping and provide £4m to high streets to support them post-Covid. Current council leader, Philip Whitehead said the group would maintain “prudence and sound financial management, whilst supporting the most vulnerable in our communities”. Wiltshire Labour has set its sights on policies to tackle climate change with the promise of greener transport through bus service improvements and more cycle lanes.
