Campaign: To advertise for foster carers with the right qualities

I have been fostered since I was just over one-year-old, and have had good experiences of foster care.

 

But some children are not as lucky.

 

I am worried that a lot of this misfortune comes because foster carers are advertised in the wrong way. Instead of promoting decent values, a lot of fostering advertising campaigns are money-driven, turning foster care into a business.

 

I'm setting up an alternative campaign where adverts are led by foster children, so they can campaign for the people they want.

Thank you to everyone who helped with my project, especially the people who starred in my film - Scott, Harry, Yara, Christine, Josh and Alex. I'd also like to extend my thanks to Janet Oladele.

Kent County Council:

Kent County Council are supporting my project and are working with me to promote it

 

Xcel2000

A foster care agency in Sittingbourne, Kent, who helped me with my Fix - and have since given me a job with them!

April 2013

Filming for my Fix was completed. Following on from this, Xcel2000 (a foster care agency in Kent) offered me a job as an Advertising and Recruitment Consultant!

 

March 2013

I was interviewed on local radio station BRFM about my Fix. Click here to listen to the interview.

 

26th February 2013
I attended the official UK-wide Fixers launch at Westminster, London, and talked about my project with fellow Fixers and a group of MPs.
