“I saw an advert and it said for fostering go to Bury Library, so I went. Right at the end, they mentioned LINK and I thought that would be a good taster for fostering and I’ve never looked back since. It’s been amazing.”

LINK care can be a lifeline for parents and carers of children with disabilities. Its impact can be invaluable.
