Anyone interested in becoming a foster carer can find out more at a series of informal drop-in events to mark Foster Care Fortnight from May 8 to 21.

Nexus Fostering Norfolk, which is based near Wymondham, will hold the events at The Forum in Norwich on May 8 from 9am to 5pm and on May 11 from 10am to 5pm.

There will also be a session at Nexus's centre at the Elm Farm Business Park, Wymondham on May 15 from 10am to 3pm.

Sue Lappage, area manager, said: 'We'll be delighted to chat with anyone who is interested in fostering and has a spare bedroom in their present home.

'There are lots of siblings, teenagers and parent and babies in and around Norwich in need of a caring and supportive home. It would be lovely to hear from people who could help them.'
