what is fostering really like in Conwy?

Long-term partners Michael and Gemma care for two foster children in the Conwy area of North Wales.

For these two, it was always about providing that safe space for children to become the best version of themselves. To laugh, to learn, to love. Caring for sisters Anna and Cerys has allowed them to do just that.

“About three years ago now, we started caring for sisters, Anna and Cerys who were five and seven at the time. Their mum was going through a really tough time. The girls didn’t experience any violence – nothing like that – but they just weren’t getting the care and attention they needed”.

“The biggest thing we’ve given these children is a sense of belonging. We’ve given them consistent love and support that they haven’t had before.”
