As part of National Fostering Awareness Month, join us at Tramore Library on Wednesday June 11th from 10am-4:30pm, hosted by Tusla Fostering—Ireland’s national fostering agency and experts in foster care.
This information stand is an opportunity for anyone who may be interested in learning more about fostering and how they can make a meaningful difference in a child’s life. Whether you’re actively considering fostering, simply curious or know someone who is interested this stand will provide valuable information, inspiration, and a chance to ask us questions.

Introduction to Fostering: Learn what fostering involves and the life-changing impact it can have for children and carers alike.
