Meet our foster carers

Meet Emma-Jo 

"Hi, my name is Emma-Jo and my husband Steve and I have been fostering for 10 years. We have 4 of our own daughters who all still live at home. We live on a working arable farm where we're growing our own potatoes and pumpkins!  

I have previously worked as a hairdresser and worked in Early Years. I now manage and run the Early Years group where we meet monthly and host a variety of fun activities for under 5s."

Meet Paula 

"Hi, I'm Paula and I foster teenagers. I've been fostering for nearly 10 years and am still passionate in my belief that all young people deserve a stable, secure home that enables them to grow into rounded, robust adults. The idea that some young people never get a decent start in life breaks my heart. Some days are tough, but others are so rewarding that I cannot imagine doing anything else. I have seen first hand the positive life changing outcomes that fostering teenagers can have, especially those who remain post 18 under the Staying Put Scheme. I'm so proud of my kids and what they have achieved."
