Foster carers in Haringey were praised for their dedication, commitment and invaluable support to children and young people at the Foster Carers' Appreciation Awards. The event took place on the evening of Friday 12 July at The Cypriot Community Centre in Wood Green.
More than a hundred foster carers from across Haringey attended the event and enjoyed a night of dinner, speeches and dancing.
The ceremony recognised all foster carers, with special acknowledgement given to those who have been long-standing carers for over 10 and 20 years.
On the night, there was a motivational speech from Steven Russell, who was fostered as a child. Steven is now a Family Support Worker and works tirelessly to act as a voice for children.
During his speech to our foster carers, Steven said:
One day, people will ask 'Who believed in you as a child?' and your name will be mentioned.
To our foster carers - thank you so very much!
