Independence Month is Coming!

Leaving foster care can be a daunting move for young people but it can also be exciting! We aim to ensure that all the young people ageing out of care have the skills they need to look after themselves as young adults. Throughout February we will be celebrating Independence Month and inviting our young people and foster carers to attend Life Skills Workshops.

So, what’s on during CFCs Independence Month?
