As clocks go forward this weekend Wiltshire Council will be launching a new drive to encourage more people to spring into action and foster with Wiltshire Council.

Wiltshire Council needs an additional 30 foster carers this year to help provide homes for young people

People that want to know more about fostering with Wiltshire Council are being invited to an online information session this month.

More than 50 foster carers have already been recruited and more are needed - particularly to foster teenagers.

People interested in offering overnight short break care for children with additional needs for small periods of time are being invited to attend an information evening this month to find out more.

"Rewarding," "providing a warm friendly home" and "making a difference" are just some of the ways Julie and Clare describe their role as foster carers.

Employers are being invited to find out more about apprenticeships at a free business breakfast in February.

Children and young people in Wiltshire are waiting less time than ever to move in with their adoptive families, according to latest figures.
