Help Give A Child A Brighter Future
Could you open up your home and provide a loving family to a child in need? There are a number of reasons why some children cannot be cared for by their own family, so it is important there is a foster family available to provide them with the care they need. It is also an extremely rewarding experience for the foster family – both financially and emotionally. If you think you have what it takes then get in touch with Slough Children’s Services Trust and find out how they can support you on an exciting new journey. W:
