STAFF from a Bromsgrove-based foster agency held lunches and afternoon teas across the town this month, to mark Foster Carer Appreciation Day on October 14.

Foster Care Associates said thank you to Bromsgrove's foster carers for looking after the children and young people in their care.

Roy Murray, chief operating officer at FCA, said: "Our foster carers are amazing people and we wanted to show them how much we appreciate them. The atmosphere was great and we’ve received some fantastic feedback from everyone involved.”
