Siobhan, short breaks foster carer for children with disabilities
Siobhan and Colin started their short breaks fostering journey in 2020. Siobhan had recently retired from teaching, and they were looking after their grandchildren.
After speaking with a parent about the struggles she was experiencing whilst looking after her daughter with disabilities, she knew she wanted to do more to help parents in similar situations.
Siobhan and Colin have been providing short breaks foster care for a child for the last four years. They enjoy going on forest walks, swimming and get pizza together.
