The right ingredients to celebrate Children of Foster Carers Month
Flour was flying, dough was spinning, pomodoro sauce was dolloped and there was a generous topping of smiles and laughter at a special event to celebrate the children of fosters carers in Cardiff last week.
It was the recipe for a successful night as Foster Wales Cardiff brought together children from the city's fostering families for a fun-filled night of pizza-making to mark Children of Foster Carers Month.
Each October, the annual campaign is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the vital contribution the children of foster carers make to foster care.
Fourteen children and young people from the Foster Wales Cardiff family enjoyed an evening together where they had the chance to shares their experiences with each other, discuss the support they receive and of course, enjoy the delicious pizzas they made at Giovanni's in the Bay Italian restaurant in Cardiff Bay.
