Right now, across Newcastle and the Hunter, there is a severe shortage of foster carers for children and young people in need.
As a result, there are dozens of children living in short-term or emergency placements with no foster carers available to care for them.
As a local community, we need your help to spread the word and encourage people to provide these children with a loving, safe home for life. It might be for a few days a month or more long-term. Any level of support will make a difference.
Please download the available resources below to share with your community.
If you are interested in becoming a foster carer, please Google search Foster Care Newcastle and reach out to an agency in your area.
It doesn’t matter who you call, no matter what organisation you approach and join, you could change a child’s life.
