To coincide with the FIFA Women's World Cup tournament, Wiltshire Council is teaming up with local authorities from across England with the aim of achieving one goal - to recruit a new generation of foster carers.

Wiltshire libraries are encouraging families with children aged 4 to 11 to join in the popular and free Summer Reading Challenge from Saturday 15 July, which aims to inspire children to read as much as they can.

To find out more about fostering with Wiltshire Council you can talk to the friendly team behind the scenes and hear from foster carers by joining a series of online events.
