WEST Cheshire residents are being asked to make their New Year’s resolution count this year by considering becoming a foster carer to a child or young person.

Cheshire West and Chester Council have 121 fostering households but there are over 230 children in the borough who need to live with foster carers.

The council is actively recruiting foster carers and would like more people to come forward in 2019 and help look after some of the boroughs most vulnerable children.

Fostering families come in all different shapes and sizes but every one receives unrivalled training and support along with generous allowances and fees.

Foster4, the council’s fostering recruitment service, will be hosting a series of information events across Cheshire each month this year.
