Are you thinking about fostering?
We're excited to welcome more foster carers to our community, and our friendly team are holding a range of events to go through the fostering process. This includes virtual information sessions, in person community events, and stalls at events organised across Wigan Borough throughout the year.
These events are open to anyone who is ready to start the fostering journey, wants to find out more information, or support someone they think would make a good foster carer.
Information evenings
Have you thought about Fostering but would like to find out a bit more? Come along to one of our virtual information events to find out more, find out who can foster and the support that Wigan offers.
