There's a particular kind of quiet that settles over a home when young people head off to college. The washing machine runs less often, the fridge stays full a little longer. And many parents find themselves with something they have not had in years, time, space, and a whole lot of love with nowhere in particular to go.
If that sounds familiar, you might be exactly the kind of person a child in care is waiting for.
We are holding a relaxed, informal Information Session on Becoming a Foster Carer on August 24th at 7pm online, and everyone is welcome, wherever you're joining from.
Join us online from the comfort of your own home, make a cup of tea, settle in, keep your camera on or off as you prefer, and ask as many (or as few) questions as you like. You can simply sit back and listen if that suits you better.
Foster carers come from all walks of life, but parents whose children have recently flown the nest bring something truly special:
You have already raised children so you know what it takes. And right now, there are children in our community who need exactly that kind of experienced, open-hearted home, whether for a weekend, a few months, or longer.
Curious? Unsure? Full of questions? Perfect. That's exactly who this evening is for. You don't need to have made up your mind, you just need to be a little bit curious.
Monday evening august 24th 7pm
Let us know you are coming or ask a question beforehand, you can reach us at enquiries@originsfostercare.ie
Your house might be quieter these days, but it doesn't have to stay that way.
Reach out for any questions and enquiries. A member of our fostering team will get back to you as soon as possible.
