Suffolk County Council has launched "Any Of Us," a compelling fostering film that sends a universal message that anyone with the capacity to care can become a foster carer. 

The film spotlights three normal people demonstrating the caring qualities essential to becoming a foster carer. Their stories intertwine with Chloe's journey into fostering, creating the narrative that any of us can foster. 

Fostering with your council or children's trust means supporting your community by offering safe, nurturing homes to children in need.

Stephen Burroughes, deputy cabinet member for Fostering and Adoption said; "Any Of Us is a excellent film that illustrates how any of us can become foster carers. It is a heartfelt reminder that we need caring individuals to step forward and provide loving homes for children here in Suffolk"

Sarah Thomas, chief executive of the Fostering Network says: "It's fantastic to see the fostering services work together to amplify their message to recruit much-needed foster carers. There's currently a shortage of 6,000 fostering households in England, so films like this have a vital role to play in encouraging more people to become foster carers." 

The film has been produced by Reel TwentyFive and project managed by CAN Digital/Rachel Brown. This is the sixth film produced by a growing partnership of councils and children's trusts to promote local authority fostering.
