We are seeking a long-term foster home for Toby, a bright and engaging 13-year-old boy with a genuine curiosity about the world around him. Intelligent and eager to learn, he has a particular interest in knowledge, facts and information, and enjoys discovering new things about a wide range of topics. Toby loves sharing what he has learned and can often impress those around him with his understanding and thoughtful insights.

A well-mannered and respectful young person, Toby is a pleasure to spend time with. He is polite, considerate of others and responds well to positive encouragement. His caring nature and good manners help him develop positive relationships with both adults and his peers.

Education is important to Toby, and he works hard at school to achieve his potential. He takes pride in his efforts and is motivated to do well academically. Toby benefits from adults who recognise his achievements and encourage his interest in learning.

Outside of school, Toby enjoys taking part in activities with his peers. He values social connections and enjoys opportunities to have fun, develop new skills and build his confidence. Whether participating in organised activities or simply spending time with peers, Toby thrives when he feels included and supported.

Toby enjoys good health and benefits from positive daily routines and structure. He thrives in environments where expectations are clear, consistent and supportive. Due to some of his early childhood experiences, Toby can occasionally struggle with overwhelming emotions. He responds well to adults who are calm, patient and understanding, and who can help him make sense of his feelings while maintaining appropriate boundaries. When supported in this way, Toby’s resilience, intelligence and positive qualities shine through.

Toby would benefit from a foster family who can provide stability, encouragement and opportunities for him to continue pursuing his interests and ambitions. A family who is willing to engage with his curiosity, support his education and encourage his social and recreational activities would help him flourish.

In return, they would welcome into their home a thoughtful, intelligent and respectful young person with a bright future ahead of him. Toby has many strengths and, with the right care and support, has every opportunity to continue growing into a confident and successful young man.
