Fostering with Community: A South Glos Carer’s Experience

This video shares the real experiences of a Rachel, a South Glos foster carer who talks openly about what fostering truly means — offering a loving, stable “home from home” to children who need care. She explains the benefits of fostering with South Gloucestershire Council, including the importance of keeping children connected to their local community — their school, friends, wider family, and familiar surroundings. With social workers based locally and working closely together, communication is strong, support is consistent, and everyone involved feels part of a joined‑up team. Rachel also highlights how valuable it is to feel part of a wider fostering community. Through regular supervision, local events, and opportunities to meet other carers, they gain connection, advice and reassurance. Children and carers alike can make friends, share experiences, and feel supported.
