A need to help those leaving foster care.

Last week week I backed I backed the Foster Care Fortnight 2013 which runs from the13-26 May). One huge issue which has been raised by the Fostering Network about children in care is that they are not supported past the age of 21. I recorded my own experiences on video for the Fostering Network of a young girl badly affected by this policy in Hyndburn some years ago which had a profound impact.
