Coleen Rooney is urging people throughout West Sussex to follow in the footsteps of her mum and dad by becoming foster carers.
The wife of football ace Wayne Rooney said: “Fostering is a vital service that often goes unnoticed. As my own parents have been foster parents since I was very young, I know what a fantastic job foster carers do.
“Every child and young person deserves the love, support and encouragement to succeed in life and look forward to a brighter future.”
Coleen was speaking on behalf of the Fostering Network in the run up to its nationwide Foster Care Fortnight campaign, which gets underway on Monday (May 11) and is backed by West Sussex County Council.
Coleen added: “I hope Foster Care Fortnight will encourage more people to come forward and help fill the desperate shortage of foster carers in the UK.
“It can be a challenging job but one which can enrich whole families and make a real and lasting difference to children's lives.”
