Enfield Council's Fostering Service team has launched an urgent appeal for foster carers, as the Covid-19 outbreak has resulted in more vulnerable children of all ages being in need of foster care.

"Foster carers come from all walks of life and include single carers as well as couples. What is most important is your ability to provide empathy, structure and routines so that a foster child can experience stability and consistent care. Fostering is also an opportunity to work from home whilst making a lasting impact on a child’s life. You too can be the support and inspiration children in care need."
