We cannot wait for our latest editions to our fostering family to arrive. We're delighted to share Ted's Light, a charity organisation who create teddies for children entering care, have just shipped the first 25 bears to our offices. Thank you Ted's Light

Ted arrived. He's safe and well. A little shaken, a little confused. He's not quite sure where he is right now, but he knows he's going to be safe. And he has his light... Thank you Ted's Light for sending us such wonderful bears. We can't wait to find him a safe and happy home

When a young person is in care, they need someone to look up to, someone to ask for help, advice and guidance. Could you be their mentor and take care of them in your home? If the answer is 'Yes', consider fostering with us. 📞 0191 277 2430 📧 [email protected]

This week is LGBT fostering and adoption week. For too long the myth has prevailed that those who identify as LGBT cannot foster - WRONG. You can #BeTheChange in a young person's life forever by being open to fostering no matter your age, gender or sexuality.

We're getting ready for The Fostering Network latest Foster Care Fortnight campaign (#FCF22). This year it centres on #FosteringCommunities. If you're interested in becoming part of our community, you can find out more here: orlo.uk/JtTdk

At the heart of everything we do are the children in need of care. They may need us any time and we will always be there. Help us, help them. Foster with Newcastle. 0191 277 2430 #FCF22 #FosteringCommunities The Fostering Network

There are still some prevailing myths around #fostering. Consequently, so many people who are eligible rule themselves out. Why not take a look at our fostering myths section and make an enquire? orlo.uk/myths_7FBzv We need a diverse community to foster. Join us!

Thinking about myths, there are two very popular ones which still exist in #fosteringcommunities: that there are upper age restrictions to being a foster carer and that teenagers are the hardest age group to foster. We know both those aren't true: orlo.uk/whyfosterteens… #FCF22

One of the difficulties within any fostering community is ensuring there are enough carers who can accommodate more than one child at a time. When children come into care with brothers and sisters, we do whatever we can to keep them together. Could you foster more than one child?

One of the most important parts of our fostering community are our respite carers. They provide much needed support to children and foster carers while having a chance to experience fostering themselves. Interested in finding out more? Go online or call us on 0191 277 2430 #FCF22

We still have lots of parts of our #FosteringCommunity to tell you about. Sometime we need to care for a parent and their child. This specialist fostering can be invaluable to a young mum or dad who need help raising their own child. Think you could help? 0191 277 2430

The need to offer sanctuary to Ukrainian refugees may be in the news right now, but we have lots of unaccompanied children already here in need of a safe home. Have you ever considered how you could support a young person seeking asylum? If you have, call us: 0191 277 2430
