As foster parents it is really important for us to give the child or children stability and support. And that’s what FFP does for us. It gives us stability, support, training, and we really feel like part of a family, which is brilliant for us. The other thing it gives us is support and backup if things did go wrong. That was one of the things we were really worried about when we started the fostering journey, but we feel supported every step of the way, and would recommend FFP very highly.
