Online information event

If you would like to find out more about fostering or if you’re already an approved foster carer looking to transfer, join our friendly team on our online information session on Thursday 27 November from 6.00pm to 7.30pm.

It’s a good opportunity to ask questions about the fostering application process and learn about the support that we offer at Blackpool Council.

You will hear from a Blackpool foster carer about their fostering journey and what it’s really like to foster with us.

Our team will also give you an introduction into what’s involved so you can see if fostering may be the right fit for you.

There is no pressure to apply by attending the session.

The event will be held on Microsoft Teams. Don't worry if you don't have Microsoft Teams installed – anyone can join a Teams meeting via their web browser using the link we send.
