00:00So why have you come out to support this walk today?
00:03Well it's really really important foster caring. Do you know families are giving a home for young
00:10people, giving them that love, support. When children and young people are obviously going
00:15through quite a difficult time and it is the backbone of what we need in our society and
00:22sometimes they foster for a few weeks and others it can be for longer and over my year as Lord Mayor
00:30in fact one of the first things I did was this event last year is subsequently I met families,
00:37babies do you know and saw the absolute how important this is and how valued it is and we're
00:45here today to say if you aren't thinking maybe I could foster please do get in touch with us here
00:51at the council and who can talk to parents that have been on the same journey and you'll see
00:58just how rewarding it can be.
