Gloucestershire County Council Fostering is inviting people with 'room to care' to its latest in-person information session in Cheltenham this September 2026.
What to expect from Gloucestershire County Council Fostering Room to Care info session?
Attendees can speak to Gloucestershire County Council's friendly fostering team and find out all about the specialist training, local support, and financial payments on offer to foster carers in the county.
There will also be some of Gloucestershire County Council's current foster carers on hand, so attendees can ask them questions about their experiences and get an insight into daily life as a foster carer with the council.
Anyone interested in becoming a foster carer can come along, and there's no obligation to take any further action.
Why foster with Gloucestershire County Council?
Gloucestershire County Council Fostering provides excellent support and remuneration for foster carers, ensuring they have all the help they need, when they need it.
Foster carers provide an incredibly valuable service by keeping local children close to their family and friends, which allows them to stay at school and maintain a sense of much-needed stability.
Foster carers can come from all walks of life, too, regardless of whether you're single or in a relationship, in employment or not, and whether you own your own home or rent – the only stipulation is that you must be over 21-years-old.
When and where is Gloucestershire County Council Fostering's Room to Care info session?
The information session takes place at Leonardo Hotel in Cheltenham from 7pm to 8.30pm on Wednesday 23 September 2026.
