Fosters carers from across the region have teamed up for a new campaign.

Staffordshire County Council has worked with the group as part of an appeal to get more people to consider fostering.

A series of short videos have been produced in the run up to Christmas with the aim of dispelling some of the myths around the issue.

Foster carer Kelly Hyden said:

> “Christmas is a really magical time for families but it can be especially difficult for children in care.   
>  
> “Knowing that you are making a difference to a child’s life is the most rewarding thing ever.  
>  
> “It isn’t always easy though and has it’s challenges but there is plenty of help and support available from the fostering service and you’re never on your own.”  
>  
> Foster carer Kelly Hyden

Cliff Whiteley is another of the carers backing the campaign. He said:

> “I’ve been fostering for 18 years now and it’s a wonderful thing to do.  
>  
> “It brings fantastic rewards, especially at Christmas time.  
>  
> “Seeing their faces when they come down stairs and open their presents is amazing.  
>  
> “Fostering also keeps you young and comes with great support and training.”  
>
