Place to call home, part of the East Midlands regional recruitment project for foster carers and supported lodgings providers has now finished its live recruitment campaign.
We would like to thank everyone that contributed to the project and all those people that expressed an interest in becoming carers.
Carers for both fostering and supported lodgings are still needed. If you’re interested, please contact your local authority.
Further opportunities for working with refugees are available through charities that work in this area, such as Refugee Action.
