Biscuit Club

The Biscuit Club is for all Tameside Local Authority Foster Carers and was started to discuss their views on a subject before taking it to a forum meeting.

The Foster Carers agreed they wanted to continue to meet up informally to be able to talk together and have time out to get and give support in confidence with others who are sharing the same circumstances and experiences.
