Cuppa with a carer

It starts with a conversation

thinking about fostering but unsure how to begin?

Why not enjoy a cuppa and a friendly conversation with one of our experienced foster carers?

Cuppa with a carer offers an informal, welcoming way to learn more about fostering with Foster Wales Denbighshire. Whether fostering is a new idea, or something you have been considering for a long time, this is your opportunity to ask questions, gain insight from real-life experiences, and hear first hand what fostering involves from someone who understands the journey.

There are no commitments and no pressure, just a relaxed chat in a café of your choice, where you can enjoy a drink whilst finding out more about fostering.

what can I talk about?

Whatever you’d like to know.

People often come along with questions such as:

  • What day-to-day life as a foster carer is really like
  • How fostering can fit alongside work, family, and other commitments
  • The support, guidance, and training available to foster carers
  • What to expect during the assessment and approval process
  • The benefits and challenges that come with fostering
  • The different types of fostering available

There’s no such thing as a silly question. Our foster carers were once in your position and understand what it’s like to be exploring fostering for the first time. They’re happy to share their experiences, answer your questions, and offer honest, real-life insight into the fostering journey.
