Over the past 30 years, we have welcomed over 90 children and young adults into our home. We've experienced good times, bad times and everything in-between, but we wouldn't change any of it, not a single thing. It's hard to describe the feeling that it gives to know that you have in some small way, helped a child in their journey towards a better future. For anyone thinking of becoming a foster carer with Stockton-on-Tees we encourage you to go for it! Of course, it isn't without its challenges, and you must be prepared to laugh and cry along the way - but it is one of the most rewarding and life-changing roles you could ever do. Even after 30 years, we have no plans to stop just yet!
Malcolm and Shelley, fostering with Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for 30 years
