I have been fostering with National Fostering Group for nearly 5 years now. I must admit I was nervous when I took on my first young lad.
However I was really well supported in these first weeks with regular calls and visits offered. I have continued to be supported really well. My supervising social worker is always at hand, calls back quickly and is always supportive and very knowledgeable.
When I first came here, it was different and my carers were different to what I had known. But from the moment I met them, I kind of knew this is where I would want to stay.
Hundreds of children are currently fostered or waiting to find foster parents in East Anglia.
National Fostering Group has local offices across Suffolk. This includes Norwich, Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth, Bury St Edmunds and King’s Lynn.
