Member News from The Foster Care Charity: Foster Carer Inspires Running Challenge

Foster carer Stephen inspires colleagues and friend in epic running challenge for children in care!

Our Manchester-based foster carer, Stephen’s personal commitment to helping vulnerable children in care is inspirational. In fact two of his work colleagues and a friend are doing a gruelling running challenge to raise vital funds for our charity.

Stephen, who works for construction firm Schofield and Sons, and his wife, Julie, from Greater Manchester, have been fostering with us for three years. In that time, they have provided a loving and caring home for six children.
