We have been foster carers for young people for over 15 years and have worked with children/young adults from ages 6 – 21 years. Supporting young people with additional support needs, autism, neuro diverse, emotional, and medical needs. Before that I was a primary school teacher, and Arron was a school caretaker and joiner.
We enjoy television and cinema. I like reading and puzzles. Arron enjoys making Lego models and DIY – his very handy with building work as well. Arron loves to cook and try new dishes. He also enjoys walking and I like to swim. We enjoy going to restaurants and the odd trip to the pub. We are also looking into our local bowling club.
Happy to try out new interests that others may have.
