The council is encouraging these people to consider fostering and help meet the demand for more people to foster with Wiltshire Council

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.

Young people in care have been sharing their thoughts on what makes a good foster carer as Wiltshire Council launches a new campaign to encourage more people to consider fostering.

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.

Have you considered fostering as a career?

Part of the Ridgeway National Trail in Wiltshire will be closed to motor vehicles over the spring and summer months to enable repair works to be completed.

"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.
