Fostering stories

From helping children in care to do well in school, to building their self-confidence and improving their mental health, Brent foster carers are doing everything in their power to change the lives of local young people.

‘Everything’ is the new fostering film produced by a growing partnership of councils and children’s trusts, including Brent, to promote local authority fostering.
