At Hull Fostering, we believe in the power of community and the importance of sharing experiences.
Our Fostering Ambassadors are people of fame and influence from Hull who play a crucial role in spreading the word about fostering and supporting new and existing foster carers.
Here’s everything you need to know about what they do, why they’re important, and how you can become one.
What are Fostering Ambassadors
Fostering Ambassadors are well-known individuals from Hull who volunteer their time to help promote fostering within the community. They share their stories, offer support and advice, and help recruit new foster carers.
Ambassadors are passionate about fostering and want to make a positive impact on the lives of children and young people.
The importance of Fostering Ambassadors
Fostering Ambassadors are vital to our mission for several reasons:
- raising awareness - They help raise awareness about the need for foster carers and the rewards of fostering
- recruiting new carers - Their stories and experiences inspire others to consider fostering, helping us find more loving homes for children in need
Meet Our Fostering Ambassadors
Watch this video to meet some of our amazing Fostering Ambassadors and hear their stories.
Hull-born actor Liam Garrigan, known for his powerful performances in both television and film, has joined Hull Fostering as an official ambassador, using his platform to encourage families across the region to consider fostering. As a proud father himself, Liam understands the importance of a loving, stable home and is calling on the people of Hull to step forward and make a life-changing difference for children in need. Liam, who grew up in Hull, has always carried a deep connection to the city and its people. Best known for his roles in acclaimed productions such as Transformers: The Last Knight, The Terror, and Once Upon a Time, his career has taken him around the world, but his heart has always remained in his hometown. Hull Fostering works tirelessly to recruit foster carers and supported lodgings providers for Hull’s looked-after children. With Liam’s involvement, we hope to elevate awareness of the urgent need for more foster families and challenge some of the misconceptions that prevent people from coming forward. Liam’s presence in this campaign is invaluable. As a well-known and respected figure, his voice will help us reach new audiences and inspire potential carers who may not have previously considered fostering. His passion, authenticity, and love for Hull make him the perfect person to front this initiative.
