Sometimes, an accumulation of difficulties and a lack of personal support can mean children and their parents find themselves in impossible situations. Community Services has a range of services to offer troubled families. Part of our resource is a group of ordinary people who open their homes to children who need care away from their own families. This task is demanding and challenging but brings many rewards. Allowances are paid to cover the costs of caring for these children.
Training is given and practical support is always on hand.
We are looking for people to join our fostering schemes. We have many different children and we welcome enquiries from couples and single people of all ages. People are needed who can look after children for a few weeks or through to adulthood. In a small number of situations children cannot return home and we need to find them a suitable family. This could be with foster parents or adopters depending on the age of the child.
