Cross-agency collaboration to address Foster Carer shortage

Written by Allambi | Nov 20, 2024 3:46:20 AM
At Allambi Care we are excited to launch a new campaign this week to address the critical shortage of foster carers in our region.
 
We have been working with CatholicCare Hunter-Manning for several months to get this off the ground and are so proud to finally deliver this project. This has been made possible by the support of our local community, who generously donated to help us shine a spotlight on this local issue. We hope to raise awareness of this shortage and encourage people to open their homes to children and young people in need.
 
We're encouraging our community to get involved by:
  • Considering becoming a foster carer – more information can be found here.
  • Helping us spread the word – Let people know about this campaign. Talk with your family, friends and other networks to help raise awareness of the need for more carers for many children and young people without a place to call home. You can access shareable campaign assets here.
CatholicCare and Allambi Care are passionate about finding our local children homes.
