It came as a wonderful surprise to hear the voice of one of our lovely foster carer's, Fi, speaking with Qasa Alom on Radio 5 Live earlier this week.
The 'Voice of the UK with Nicky Campbell' programme was focused around the current severe shortage of foster carers within the UK.
The show featured different perspectives around fostering, speaking with foster carers, people who have been fostered, as well as hearing from a representative from the Fostering Network to gain further oversight.
