In this episode of our Voices of Fostering podcast, we are joined by Amalia, one of our amazing foster carers. She has been fostering for 10 years alongside her husband. Amalia shares her unique journey, from working in high-end casinos and running a pub to becoming a foster carer after seeing a simple advert. She reflects on the joys and challenges of fostering, the emotional ups and downs, and what she has learned along the way.
