Do you feel like God is speaking to you about fostering a vulnerable child? Carers are urgently needed

Children’s charity Home for Good has launched an urgent appeal in response to an unprecedented shortage of homes for children who need them and a desperate need for more foster carers in the UK.

This year in the UK, around 36,000 children and young people will enter the care system. That’s 100 children every day. Each and every child is brimming with potential and deserves a loving, safe and stable home where they can thrive.

The current shortage of carers means that too many children don’t have this. In some cases, children are having to move far away from all they know, and all that is familiar, such as school, because of a lack of carers in their local area. Often, sibling groups are split up because there aren’t enough carers with the skills and space to enable them to stay together.
