 7:00 - 9:00pm

Stroud Congregational Church, GL5 1AY

Could you open your home and foster a young person who has arrived in the UK alone?

We are holding a face to face information session in Stroud about unaccompanied children who seek asylum in the UK. We will answer questions such as:

• Why do children seek asylum and sanctuary in the UK?
• Who can foster?
• What training, support and payments will I receive4?
• Do I need to speak another language?

We invite you to join us for this informal session led by the GCC fostering team, the Virtual School and foster carers.
