You Can Foster
Applies to-All Schools
"Ambitions. Dreams. Determination. Loving and supportive foster families can help children and young people unlock all of these things. That's why we've made them the focus of our Inspiring Stories Competition. This is an opportunity for fostered children and birth children of Foster Carers to unleash their creativity and have stories heard across the North West, Yorkshire and beyond.
The story could be a personal account of their own fostering experience, or an imaginative, inspirational tale they want to tell. Entries will be judged by a celebrity panel and there's a huge prize to be won!
Find out about the competition here: http://youcanfoster.org/competition

I appreciate that this competition will only apply to a small number of pupils, but it's a great opportunity for fostering households to get involved.
