Let’s Talk Warwickshire Podcast: New episode looks at social care and support in Warwickshire

In the latest episode of the Let’s Talk Warwickshire podcast, we focus on social care and support in the County, focusing on the different levels of support which exist for residents as well as those who look after them.

As a Food Champion volunteer, individuals will get to work with local groups and communities to equip people with the right knowledge about how to eat more healthily, in a way that is affordable, and that contributes to the environment in more sustainable ways.

The work of the volunteers will also support key priorities outlined in the Warwickshire Food Strategy 2023-2026, which has been developed by the Warwickshire Food Forum to ensure there is a supply of good quality, healthy, and affordable food available for everyone across the County.

In particular, it wants to hear from couples and individuals interested in fostering who have space to look after sibling groups.

To help people understand more about becoming a foster carer, and to hear from a Warwickshire carer with experience of fostering siblings, an online Teams event is taking place on Tuesday 17th October at 7.30pm for anyone who wants to find out more.

To register your interest in attending the Teams event, email  fosteringenquiries@warwickshire.gov.uk.
