Berkshire councils launch campaign to recruit carers and adopters

Berkshire’s six local authorities have joined forces in a week long campaign to help local children find new families during Berkshire Fostering and Adoption Week (11-17 February 2013).

Reading Borough Council, Slough Borough Council, West Berkshire Council, Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Council, Wokingham Borough Council and Bracknell Forest Council are holding information events, throughout the week, providing an ideal opportunity for local people to find out what is involved and ask any questions they may have. The six councils are encouraging people to think about how they can make a difference to children and young people’s lives. The organisers are also focusing on social media – specifically Facebook and Twitter, to raise awareness and dispel the myths around fostering and adoption.
