Leading fostering agency Foster Care Associates (FCA) is calling for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) single people and couples to consider becoming foster carers in Cornwall. 

The call, ahead of LGBT Adoption and Fostering Week (March 6 to 12), reinforces what managers call the positive contribution LGBT foster carers make helping children and young people.

Approximately 5% of the group’s 1580 carers are LGBT.
