This drop-in session is aimed at LGBTQ+ people interested in starting the fostering process.

 Hosted by fostering agency, Banya, this session will introduce information and skills to foster for any LGBTQ+ people looking to build their families. We’ll share stories on LGBTQ+ fostering, what support is offered to LGBTQ+ carers, how we can support LGBTQ+ youth and answer any questions you might have on this journey. This is a drop-in session where folks can join any time between 7pm to 9pm.
