Available for over a year

A couple in Leicester have fostered between 30 and 40 children over the past 15 years. Across the UK there are almost 84 thousand children in care that are looking for a home. In Leicestershire there are more than 700 young people in care and the County Council is recruiting more carers to look after children. Paul and his wife Marie have been fostering for more than 15 years. Paul told Kelly Hinch that it's a rewarding role, but one that also has its challenges.
