For this year’s Black History Month, we are honouring Black Britons who champion social work and honour our communities. Last week we spoke to Carmen about cross-cultural care. Julie has a similar story: a foster carer who started by helping those in her local community. Discover her story this Black History Month.
After finding out her daughter’s friend had trouble at home, Julie offered a helping hand and a place to stay. This was before she formally became a foster carer, but the instinct was there and today she is proud to have this focus and purpose in life. Watch our interview with Julie on how she started her foster care journey.
