That’s the advice from Chrissy who has fostered for Knowsley for the last 8 years.
Foster carers make a significant difference to the lives of children and young people in Knowsley, helping them to flourish and achieve their full potential.
We asked Chrissie about her fostering experience to date and why she does what she does.
What do you enjoy the most about fostering?
Seeing the children we foster flourishing with love and support.
What do you feel has been the biggest impact on the children in your care?
Love, routine and continuity.
What would you say to anyone thinking about fostering?
Do it, don’t wait. My only regret is I didn’t start sooner.
Why should people foster for Knowsley Council?
There are so many children who need a safe place to stay.
Fostering locally means children can stay in their community.
Knowsley Council give support when you need it, are in regular contact and will make changes if something isn’t working.
