Eileen
(she/her)Foster Carer
Hope looks like consistency in a child’s life when everything else feels uncertain. Through The Fostering Network’s Mockingbird programme, I see hope in connection, and a shared responsibility to harness the power of when we support children and carers to feel safe, valued and heard.
Eileen doesn’t consider her own individual story to be anything particularly special, but throughout her time as a foster carer she has been privileged to support an amazing group of adults who go above and beyond to provide loving homes to the vulnerable budding next generation. As a mum and granny, it is so important to Eileen that children are given the best possible start to grow into caring adults.
