A SUPPORT programme launched for foster carers and children in South Gloucestershire is expanding into a second hub home in Oldland Common following the success of the first.
South Gloucestershire Council collaborated with The Fostering Network to launch the first Mockingbird Family Model in 2023. The model is designed to make fostering relationships stronger and more sustainable by providing an extended family approach that connects foster carers and children through shared experiences.
At the heart of each group of foster families, is a ‘hub home’, where specially recruited and trained foster carers support others by offering advice and group social activities.
