Meet our carers

A minute of me - Lisa

7 and a half years ago whilst Lisa was helping her foster carer friend to look after a brother and 2 sisters, she took the plunge and contacted Hull Fostering to enquire about becoming a respite carer so she could continue to support the children. After discovering the children may be split up as no one was available to care for all 3 children long-term together, it looked likely the 3 children were soon going to be split up and live separately, until Lisa asked if she could help keep the children together. Now 7 and a half years later, with a blended family of 8 children ranging from 11 to 31 years old, Lisa and her partner say they are happy and thriving in life.

A minute of me - Sarita

Meet Sarita, a foster carer of 12 years with Hull Fostering. Working full-time, Sarita fosters around her job and explains what it is really like to have 2 young people in her care.

A minute of me - Nora

Nora and Pete have provided long term foster care for siblings, short term and even emergency care to 9 children since becoming foster carers with Hull Fostering back in December 2014. The couple is currently caring for a 4-year-old little boy who they offered to look after overnight back in January 2023, whilst a search was ongoing for a suitable long term home for him. Nora and Pete quickly identified the little boys triggers and were able to support him to feel calm in a new place with new people. What was supposed to be just one overnight stay, has now progressed into the little boy staying with the couple long-term.
