The Mayor of Douglas says foster carers on the Island are ‘unsung heroes’ of the community.
Councillor Natalie Byron-Teare said it’s important to care for those who are ‘vulnerable’ and children can be most at risk.
A celebration was attended by a number of foster parents and representatives from Manx Care to mark the end of Foster Care Fortnight - a campaign organised by the health body to encourage people to take on the role.
