Meet the foster carers

Over the years we have helped lots of different people from varied backgrounds foster children in Somerset. The families featured here have very kindly shared their stories with us.

Please note: the majority of the photos are of real foster carers but we do use stock photos when a foster carer does not want to be photographed.

Suzanne and Andy

Suzanne and Andy are Stepping Stones carers, helping young people leaving care learn new skills to prepare them for independent living.

Watch the video below to hear from Suzanne, Andy and their Stepping Stones young person Jazz.

Geoff & Emma

Geoff & Emma both served in the Royal Air Force before going on to become foster carers. Throughout their fostering journey, they have provided a stable home for children of all ages and backgrounds, including sibling groups, teenagers and Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children. They also have experience of Parent & Child fostering, which involves supporting a young child and their parent, so they can learn and develop their parenting skills.
