Heather and Adrian are long-term foster carers to two children and are in the process of adopting a little boy who came to live with them at eight-weeks-old. The couple are completely focused on meeting the needs of the children in their care and consistently demonstrate an unwavering commitment to fostering.

Priscilla McLoughlin, social worker who nominated them, said: “Heather and Adrian’s unwavering belief in the young people they foster and their willingness to go the extra mile time after time makes them exceptional foster carers and worthy of recognition.”
