The event provided an opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to our foster carers and recognise the work they do for children in their care.

Marie McTaggart, the Northern Trust’s Recruitment Co-Ordinator for Adoption and Foster Care, said: “This is the second Appreciation Day we have hosted so far, and I want to thank everyone who attended.
