Interesting night at The Bar Convent with @xshelly_reedx to talk about the need for more foster carers in #InterFaithWeek City of York Council @smtimyork

Care leavers are nearly twice as likely to drop out of university than their peers, and now there are calls for universities to provide better support for them. Katherine Nash has been to York to meet one student, who's starting a new life away from home.

We are overwhelmed by the kind donations made to @minsterfm. 4 HUGE boxes full of toys! People of York - you’ve excelled yourself. Your generosity will make a massive difference to those families most in need City of York Council @

This is terribly sad and shows a nationwide shortage of #fostercarers. In 2020 we’re recruiting additional carers so if you think you could help please contact our website ⁦City of York Council⁩ or look out for our new adverts in Jan ⁦The Elephant Room⁩ theguardian.com/society/2019/d…
